Hello

The Tortoise Protection Group have been asked to find a new home for a juvenile hermanns called Herb.  Herb is around 2 yrs old and weighs 258g, and looks to be female, although this is not definite.

Herb's owners bought her from a pet shop at Easter this year, with much of the usual pet shop advice.  After doing their research, they have come to the sad conculsion that as much as they love Herb, they cannot provide her with the accommodation she needs, and they dont really have any outdoor space for her.

If  you would like to offer Herb a new home, please contact the Rehoming Team at rehoming@tortoise-protection-group.org.uk  with the email subject line 'Herb, Wirrel Hermanns'. PLEASE DO NOT APPLY THROUGH THIS FORUM. The rehoming application form can be found in the Rehoming Section of this website:-

http://www.tortoise-protection-group.org.uk/site/131.asp

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 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 occurred; therefore as a non profitable group we rely on your generosity to help our cause.

Many thanks

Arlene TPG

Hi -

I am going to be offline for a short while from tomorrow, as Im moving house on Friday and I need to sort out internet etc in the new place.  The rehoming team will be short staffed,  so please do bear with us if things take  little longer than normal

all the best

Hi Arlene, I'm new to this site, I've thinking about getting another tortoise for a while. I have both a male (Eddie) and a female (Una) hermanns. Has Herb found a home yet?

Hi Jo,

Sorry Arlene is still in the middle of sorting things after her move. Harb has now been found a lovely home with a lovely keeper.

Best Regards
Darren
