I tend to agree with this statement. They don't have much respect for you. And your tortoise will pay the price. If at all possible look for a new place to live. If not your tortoise may have to be confined for a while. If I was in your situation I would can find my tortoise where they can't get to him. Then I would be looking for a place to live ASAP.Sorry to hear of your situation , after reading I guess you have 2 options . Keep him locked in your room , or move . I would probably choose the latter , if a person couldn't honor such a simple request ! But that's just the way I am .
