We have been asked to find a new home for an adult male Ibera located in Manchester.  Tommy has been with his current family in excess of 30 years, and is much loved, but sadly due to a move to a change in circumstances, they feel it would be better to find a new home for him.  He has hibernated each winter, and for the last 5 years has received an annual check up by a member of the BCG.  We understand from his owner that he has never had any health problems.  His exact age is unknown, he is approx 186mm long and weighs in at 1360g, hopefully, his photo will appear below, and a very striking tortoise he is too!  Finding a good home is really important to his owners, and it may be possible for them to transport Tommy part way if distance is a problem.

If you would like to offer this tortoise a new home, please contact the rehoming team at rehoming@tortoise-protection-group.org.uk with the email subject line 'Ibera, Manchester'.  The rehoming application form can be found in the Rehoming Section of this website, you will need to download it into your documents, complete it and attach it to your email.  Any problems, please let us know, and if you have already completed an application, please let us know when you apply.

Please note: There is no fee charged for re-homing but we hope that
if you are successful in your application, you will consider a
donation to help towards the TPG's work. Please be assured that any
donation no matter how small will be spent working towards making a
lasting difference to tortoises. Not all tortoises that we have
rehomed in the past have required veterinary treatment, however
occasionally this has occured, therefore as a non profitable group we
rely on your generosity to help our cause.
