Hi guys, I am VERY new to this! Firstly I am from the UK (I know this makes a difference with certain aspects of advice and care) and secondly I do not yet own a tortoise, but will be acquiring one very soon.
Here is my back story. My sister in law's ex husband had the bright idea of buying a baby tortoise for their 5 year old son and of course, having little choice in the matter, limited disposable income and no clue how to care for it, my sister in law is struggling. I have stepped in and agreed to take ownership of the tortoise as I have plenty of room for a sizeable habitat, a keen interest in animals (I have several pets) and enough money and time to ensure she is well looked after for what i hope will be a long and happy life! I have been reading up on tortoise ownership and stumbled across this forum which seems to be really informative and helpful!
I hope I'll be able to learn from you guys and give my new tortoise the best life I can. many thanks and I look forward to meeting you all.
