Sorry for posting this again but dont think im gona get an answer from the general forum

I have reasearched on how to house and keep tortoises for about 3-4 months as I want to get everything right before we get one.

We have decided on a Horsfield Tortoise as they seem to be most popular for first tortoises and because of that, over the last couple weeks its the only species we have read upo about and how to keep.

I went threw the breeders list but the one nearest to me doesnt do horsefield.

I was looking online and sore this website, http://www.thetortoiseshop.com/, is this a trustworthy website does anyone no?? Because I dont want to go buy one from here and find the tortoise isnt healthy, thanks

Hi and
That is great that you are reading first, it makes getting your tort a whole lot enjoyable when you know a bit about them.
Personally I would not buy from this site, two reasons which would put me off
1- UK Wide Delivery 
2- Schools out... 
I am sure that one of the ladies from the Tortoise table used to breed Horsfields, if not I am sure they would know a good breeder.  Here is the link below

you will get a good start with a healthy tort from a good UK Captive Breeder.
Please let me know how you get on
