Hi Colin & Sofia,

Best to contact a reputable breedr in your area. Unfortunately it is difficult to ascertain who is genuine, so we have compiled a list of genuine breeders and have taken great time and care in checking everyone out:-

Hi

I have just spent hours reading up on tortoises as my mother has decided she would like one, or two at most. We have very little garden, and what we do have is graveled. In the past we have owned rabbits and Guinea Pigs, and we currently own 5 ponies and 6 chickens, which are named after types of curry. As I live in West Cumbria, the average rainfall is well over 1 meter and we either drown or freeze into hibernation during winter. And autumn. And spring. You get the picture.
