    British tortoise owners

    I am already wondering how I would manage without these boards. I've learnt so much already!

    You know you have a tortoise when...

    ... when you have a cheap £2 scale for the kitchen and a fancy digital one for your tortoise!

    Boosh's home

    I have just started learning about the heat emitters. I have been having a look but I'm baffled! Can anyone point me in the right direction? I also ordered a Repti Fogger (think that's what it was called?) and I'm just waiting for that to come. I thought just having damp soil around his light...

    Boosh's home

    I have been meaning to upload a picture of Boosh's home (but then my laptop broke!) I am a relatively new tortoise mummy so I still have a lot to learn. Any ideas are gladly appreciated, I'd do anything for this little guy! I have a feeling it's slightly on the smaller side? I bought the table...

    Is it possible (for tortoise to like being touched?)

    Boosh seems to love having his head tickled. He will happily sit for ages while I rub his head. Legs are a bit of a no no though, he tucks his legs away when I touch them.

    Does Eric look like he is starting to Pyramid?

    I don't know much about pyramiding but I just wanted to say that he is adorable, I love the third picture :)

    I am disgusted and devastated.

    I could only read through half of that. The part about the poor tortoise burning and trying to run away in fear was as far as I could get before I started crying. I am hugely in to animal rights and anything like this makes me want to scream in anger. I just don't know how anyone could do that...

    You know you have a tortoise when...

    Oh and another... ... when you're out shopping, call your fiancé and the first thing you say is "can I speak to Boosh please" then proceed to have a 10 minute "conversation" on the phone with your pet tortoise in the middle of a shop. Just me?

    Since getting Boosh my Facebook has been full of posts from other people with tortoise related things. I thought this was just me! People tag me in everything tortoisey and I love it!

    You know you have a tortoise when...

    ... When your neighbours find you crawling around on all fours in the garden looking for weeks with a massive grin on your face. ... When the same neighbours find you standing on a chair to look over in to their garden to see what kind of weeds they have... then you consider going around to ask...

    One way to keep your baby alive -discussion thread

    Wow, that's so awful. I really feel for the OP. I can't imagine how awful that must have been for her :( I'm so glad I've seen this thread. I took on Boosh not knowing an awful lot about tortoises (he was being neglected by my brother so I gave him a home and have been trying to learn as much as...

    Hi from me and Boosh!

    I keep meaning to take a picture of his home! I will get on to that in a bit :)

    So, you want a tortoise......

    Oh this has happened with my brother's children too (social services have had to step in recently but that's a story for another day!) It's such a shame that people don't think before having children and pets.

    Hi from me and Boosh!

    Thank you! I've been posting in a Facebook group too which has been wonderful but I've used forums for years and this looks great :D

    So, you want a tortoise......

    Only my second post but I just wanted to say WELL SAID! I fully admit that I don't know everything about tortoises. I posted about it in my introduction thread but here is my story- My brother bought Boosh on a whim thinking he's cute and he would be fun. He said he had spoken to a vet who...

    Hi from me and Boosh!

    Hi everyone! I've just found this forum (Boosh's vet recommended it) so thought I would come and join and say hello! We gave Boosh (a 9 month old Horsfield tortoise) a home in October. My brother had bought him and realised (after neglecting other pets too) that he just didn't want him...
