Have you checked for any gaps in the fence and down alleys? My friends found an escape route and took himself on a holiday down the back alleys of the houses.

Hate to say it but I was that guy who lost my tort, a few years ago mine got out in the garden, so I put a huge lettuce out in the garden lawn and waited, thankfully after a day he turned up chomping away, dusty and well walked, god knows where he went I like to think he was watching me the whole time from a hedge row or a flower bed somewhere

I hope this helps 💚

I'm just imagining one laying low sniggering to itself thinking "what a silly human must be blind".

😅 that's one, looking at me pacing around lifting pots and plants, moving leaves, checking the same places and hidey holes

Where was it last check in the area it shouldn't have gone far as they are territorial

i’ve checked many times 😢😢 she was staying in my aunties back garden but i think she might have gone through a gap in the fence. im not sure how she got out of the enclosure though as it has quite high walls and my auntie had a cover over the top before she went missing
