Hi there,
My girlfirend is very keen on getting a tortoise and has been for a while. i am thinking of getting her one for her birthday. i'm really keen on them but never had one before. i just need some help though..!!
1. we are having a baby next month so i was wondering if there are any dangers of having a tortoise around a newborn baby. i know obviously not to let the tortoise actually near the baby but in terms of hygeine would it not be recommended having a tortoise. just worries as little things like kitty litter is bad for pregnant women/newborns.
2. what would i need to get exactly to care and look after the tortoise.
3. the only place i am aware of getting a tortoise from in my area is Pets at Home which i am a bit uncertain about as you hear things about buying pets from large pet shops and i never know if it is a good idea? if you know anywhere around Milton Keynes Buckinghamshire i would be interested to know.
any help to any of there questions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ed.
