the tortoise in question was taken from an indoor enclosure that was never below 70 degrees and put outside in 45 degree day temps and 38 degree nite temps. I lasted two and a half days. Didn't have a burrow or time to dig one. But your info is interesting... neat to know they are that resistant if given a chance.
No one has mentioned plant poisoning...would he succumb to a toxic plants that quickly? We have alot of buttercup in the grass around here. I guess I'll never know what happened for sure. Seems such a waste. Thanks to everyone for your ideas.
