Hi,

We have been asked to find a special home for Mozes, who has been looked after by his current keeper forn 49 years.

If you would like to offer Mozes a new home, please contact the rehoming team at rehoming@tortoise-protection-group.org.uk with the email subject line 'Mozes - TGG - Kent". Please do not apply through this forum. 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. If you experience 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 adonation 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.

Kindest Regards
Darren

Hi Michelle
Thank you for your offer to rehome Moses. Moses is in Kent(so rather a long way from Newcastle)and we are in discussions with possible foster families.

As soon as we have definate news we will post on this page.

Hi

Alice

Hi again!

Sorry, forgot to ask you, does he hibenate?

Thanks!

Alice

Hi Alice
Moses is a Whitei and yes he does hibernate.

Steph

Hi

I don't know much about tortoises and hibernateing so any information would be helpful e.g what to keep him in and where do I put him when he is hebernateing!

Thanks

Alice

Hi Alice

There is a lot of good information on tortoise husbandry, including hibernation on this website.  If you go to 'The Tortoise' in the menu on the left hand side, you will find a care sheet section - click on the one for 'Graeca' as these are very similar to Whitei, there is also a whole section on hibernation. If you visit the Photo Gallery, you will see a lot of great examples of indoor and outdoor enclosures for both youngsters and adult, so hopefully lots of inspiration there!

all the best

Arlene

Hi Arlanene

Thanks for the information I will look at it!

Hi,

Just a quick update. After much deliberation Mozes has been found a wonderful home with two mature whitei ladies
