Hello I'm looking for a tortoise for my son, I have been told horsefield tortoise would be a good choice as a first time owner. I'm an animal lover of all kinds and already have 2 dogs 2 cats and a stable yard holding 30 horses. I am fully aware of the commitment to owning an animal/pet of any size big or small. If anyone could give me advice on rehoming from a rescue tortoise or have a tortoise they are unable to care for more pls pls contacting me 07864665830 . Krissy. Kent
Hello, Click the box on the left titled TPG.....Rehoming / Rescue. A lot of Horsfields need re-homing. They are 'all' wild caught & therefore cheap. They are sold by 'pretend breeders' & other pet dealers, often as impulse buys. I trust that your son understands that torts are best observed, with minimal handling. Regards Tom
