I have had two tortoises in my time, both named Sammy...! The first was a Hermann Tortoise, he was only a baby when we bought him for my little brother for his birthday one year, and he required a licence, and needed a vivarium, with a heat mat, light, and special substrates to live on. But was so easy to care for once everything was ...

I have had my tortoise, Fritz, for 30 years now. He is a fascinating animal and, strange as it may seem, is a great pet. As a cold blooded animal, the hotter the weather the more energetic he is. On a hot day he moves very quickly and can cover my 60 foot garden in 5 minutes. You should bear this in mind and make sure that your garden is secure. ...

You may think this sounds familiar as I believe the person who last wrote a review on this subject is my other half! About 2 years about my boyfriend was always going on about me getting him a tortoise which I never wanted to, so when he had enough money he got one which was last year. He decided to name him Jim...I don't know why! He was a little ...

My Tortoise : Ive currently had 2 tortoises in the past 2 years, my first one got attacked by a dog and didnt survive, my other tortoise beanz is a male and is about 2-3 years old. They are very easy creatures to look after if you do it properly but alot of people under estimate the amount of work you have to put in to look after in ...

Tortoises are fantastic animals, which make great pets. I have had a tortoise for a few years now and it's really entertaining and easy to look after to. There are many different breeds of tortoise, which live in different habitats. I have even heard of one that climbs trees. They cost around £100+ to buy depending on the breed. Due to ...

The importation of tortoises began a very long time ago, over 120 years ago. It is estimated that around 100,000 tortoises are imported to the uk every year, these are not the most popular pet and ranging from £100 to over £1000 each i dont think they will ever be as popular as a hamster so where are all these tortoises going, there ...

I have had a tortoise for around 6 years now, and he himself is only 7 years old. Considering he can live over 120 years, he is still a baby! Earlier, I actually had to rescue him because he was on his back and struggling to get on his feet again, which can be very dangerous! He is a lovely pet and very entertaining. He is quite clever too, and ...

Unfortunatly alot of your advice is flawed, They should not be eating shop bought greens! lettuce is not poisonous to them..it just has no nutritional value. A tank is for goldfish not for a tortoise.Tortoise require indoor and outdoor enclosures ....open topped tortoise tables are best. Certain tortoises require documentation through ...

Much of this information is incorrect or out-of-date. Tortoises (esp Hermanns) cannot cope with humidity and need an open enclosure (tortoise table) not a vivarium. they shuold only be fed fruit occasionally or it can give them gut problems. They should be allowed to be outside as often as possible whenever it is warm enough. If you are ...

Contrary to poplular belief, tortoises are not not the slowest animals around, they are actually quite fast! I have two tortoises, and in the summer, when it is hot, their shells are like solar panels, and they soak in the sunlight and speed off into the distance... Now i must admit, the distance is only the end of my garden, but they do ...

My tortoise Mo is 7 years old and she's been with me for 4 1/2 of those years - I wouldn't change her for the world, as tortoises have more personality than any other animal I know (excluding cows because I wouldn't want one for a pet - not in the flat!) - you just have to watch them eat to fall in love with them, and ...

I know I said I wouldn't write any more pet reviews but I completely overlooked the dear old tortoise and quite frankly he just can't be left out! In the bad old days, when tortoises were imported in their thousands and a couple made it to the pet shop in one piece, my politically incorrect mother decided to get me and my sister ...

My tortoise was imported from Europe almost twenty years ago. He lives in the garden, occassionally, I feed him salad but he prefers to feed himself from plants and foods that he finds for himself in the garden. Many people advise that when the temperature drops in Winter, you should put your tortoise into a box in the house throughout ...
