1. Older than three months
2. Badly pyramided for such young things
3.get in a tiny space
4.Just eating lettuce
I would buy them but I only just have the space and money for one tort let alone three.ImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1411800291.928422.jpg

so much misinformation going around! torts are territorial, they like being the king of there own enclosure! I'm guessing the sulcata are about a year old, probably stunted and pyramided from only eating lettuce!:mad::(

A bad diet does play part :( and they are probably being kept way way way too dry! I think 'turbo' is pyramided too... :(

You have to remember, pet shops don't have the room or facilities to set tortoises up in permanent, large enclosures. They are there for display and sales. Pet shops are in business to make money, not to set up habitats for tortoises. Hopefully their animals only stay in small spaces for a short while until sold.

That's not a pet shop it's an owner.

Don't look at tortoises on Preloved; it will only make you sad and angry.
