I've just seen an add selling a Horsfields Tortoise.

The ad states you will need to get a heat mat and she eats salad and fruit.

The picture shows her with a beak that is in severe need of clipping.

It's such a shame that she is likely to go to a new home were she continues to not get the correct care. So sad.

Well, people may call me a busy body, but when I see ads like that I contact the seller and politely and humbly tell the the correct way to care for the tortoise and I offer to send them a good care sheet that they can give to the buyer.
