	Reviews on Tortoise Look at tests, reports and read reviews: dooyoo.co.uk
		Tortoises are not too hard to look after, and they do not really need much exercise.
		I have two tortoises, and in the summer, when it is hot, their shells are like solar panels, and they soak in the sunlight and speed off into the distance...
		In the bad old days, when tortoises were imported in their thousands and a couple made it to the pet shop in one piece, my politically incorrect mother decided to get me and my sister one each as pets.

	Care of the Mediterranean Tortoise (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The aim is to mimic indoors, as closely as possible, the natural environment of the tortoise.
		These are personable tortoises and will, with patience, learn to feed from hand.
		Tortoises should be bathed in warm water for 5-10 minutes.

	Thinking of a baby tortoise (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The practices routinely established in most peoples idea of tortoise husbandry may in the very least need some refinement, and for this reason the first advice we give to people thinking of getting a tortoise is to try to forget all you think you know and start again.
		Tortoises in the wild rarely hibernate for more than 6-10 weeks and the naturally much longer hibernations that would occur naturally in this climate are detrimental to the tortoises long-term.
		Either way they are a very large tortoise and due to their capacity to dig and their requiring indoor winter accommodation they are a very large undertaking in terms of space and time.

	Modern Tortoise Husbandry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The practices laid down on this sheet are designed to optimise the chances of your tortoise reaching the old age that should be expected of all tortoises and not being one of the unfortunate thousands that have died over the last few decades.
		The second point is that many of these tortoises survive rather than thrive and are prone to infections, bone deformity, diarrhoea, poor shell growth, walking difficulties and many more chronic conditions that lead to their premature demise and a relatively miserable existence.
		Probably over 90% of the adult UK tortoise population is calcium deficient to some extent and this along with infections due to excessively low temperatures accounts for most hatchling tortoise deaths in the UK.

		Tortoises are strong and determined escapees, so make sure the enclosure will not allow them to venture out but also prevent anything unwanted from venturing in.
		Weigh the tortoise you are just about to hibernate, so that you can monitor its weight loss at regular intervals and remove it from hibernation if the weight loss is to high.
		When purchasing a Mediterranean tortoise it is required by (CITES) that the tortoise must have a certificate of which provides information on its captive bred origin (an article 10), preventing the sale of wild Mediterranean tortoises in EU countries.

		There are many different tortoise species, for the purpose of this document we will only look at Mediterranean species considered (by the author) to be hardy and suitable to the new tortoise keeper living within the UK.
		The commonly kept Herman’s, hardy enough to be a good starter tortoise for new UK keepers.
		One of the smallest tortoises, the Egyptian tortoise is not for the beginners, they are bred on occassion demanding high prices for babies, and have been found to be sensitive to humidity levels.

	Tortoise - Review - Slow...Your Joking Right?
		In the summer, you can either build a enclosure to keep the tortoise in, just to go for a walk during the day when its hot (this is what i do), or you can build a suitable enclosure for the tortoise to live in pernimently throughout the summer.
		Many tortoise develop long nails and if there is a flat rock of some sort in their tank or enclosure then, it will facilitate normal nail wear, and their nails will not get too long.
		Tortoise must be fed high quality food for them to obtain the right vitamins and nutrients, and minerals that their bodies require.

	Pets Parade Forums - mixing tortoieses (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		we have a hermans tortoise that is about 15cm across and we want to buy another one to keep him company.
		a Spurred tortoise from the arid subsaharan Africa and those of a Hingeback from the deep tropical forests of the western and central parts of the same continent, are doomed to condemn at least one, and most likely both tortoises to a slow death.
		The breeding behaviour in many species is quite rough, involving butting, biting and ramming, and while a female of the same species is 'built' for that particular type of rough handling, a female of another species is most likely not equipped to come out of such an ordeal unharmed.

	Care Sheet - Eastern Hermann's Tortoise
		Hermanns tortoises are herbivores and in the wild consume a wide variety of flowers, leaves, and plant stalks.
		It is also helpful to keep a cuttlebone (with the back removed) in the enclosure so your tortoise can nibble on it if she or he feels the need for more calcium.
		You should not mix tortoise species because of the danger of transmitting parasites and other organisms to which a hermanns tortoise might not have an immunity.

	Sheffield Forum - Are there any poeple on here who know about tortoises? HELP!!
		The tortoise must also be kept warm as described previously- it is absolutely vital that such temperatures are maintained in order to speed up activation of the tortoise's digestive system.
		As the tortoise awakes certain biological changes take place; one of the most important of these is the release into the bloodstream of a chemical called glycogen, which has been stored in the liver.
		We have a herman tortoise, he/she (lets call it a he) is 2 and around 3" long, and has hibernated for the first time this year.

		He was very concerned at the poor information regularly encountered by tortoise pet owners, and came to the conclusion that a club which regularly met and shared information would be an ideal way to standardise information and promoting pet tortoise welfare to its members.

		I have a spur thighed male tortoise, approx 17 years old, I would like to find a partner for him, could you advise how I advertise on your web site, or give me a contact who would be willing to sell a female testudo graeca of a compatable age.
		Tortoises are very endearing indeed, they have had a bad time over the past thirty years or so, they deserve our care and respect from now on.
		Many tortoise enthusiasts hope that this is a ground breaking move by the police actually taking the theft of a tortoise seriously, for some reason it is usually made a joke of.

	Help and Advice for your Tortoise
		As you search through various internet websites you will discover much contradictory advice on how you should care for your tortoise, our advice is to listen primarily to the company who you aquired your tortoise from.

		You will find on our website tortoises offered here are generally 2 years and older.

		i have a two year old tortoise who seems very healthy an happy but when i put him the garden on sunny days he always trys to eat stones and lumps of concrete!!
		Hi Josie, Tortoises may try gnawing on cuttlefish or possibly even bones as this is a source of calcium for your tortoise, but there will be no benefit to them eating any concrete.
		As the tortoise is only young it is important to dust the food with a vitamin powder such as Nutrobal at every other feeding.

		I have read Hermans, Russian and Greek tortoises are considered to be "better" beginner tortoises the reasons given are because they are cheaper, easier to get, hardier, more humidity-tolerant versus for example Egyptians but these first listed torts do get larger.
		The fact he/she will remain small is nice and their reputation for being a hardier species is nice.
