Tom the Tortoise’s Miraculous Recovery | Leicester News
Description
A six-year-old tortoise named Tom had a harrowing summer—gone missing, hit by a car, and left with a cracked shell. But thanks to heroic vets at Kingfisher Veterinary Practice who stitched him back together, Tom’s making a full recovery, eating like crazy and living his best life again. His ordeal hints at a bigger problem: warmer weather sends tortoises on risky adventures, especially males chasing mates. Owners are urged to check fences and consider microchipping. And yes, Tom may have even dodged a fox before his rescue. Now he’s safely reunited with his five friends in a predator-proof enclosure—proof that even slow-moving shells can survive big scares.
