I Blame You

[TriciaStringer]

Since joining this forum in April, our tortoise ownership has increased 200%. We had one 13 year old sulcata namesd Sweetheart and really never considered another. Now we also have a 20 month old sulcata, Tibby, and an 8 year old Russian, Pepe. My hubby blames this forum and I must agree. I succumb to peer pressure very easily.

We accept the blame..

Yes agreed! I got my first baby two years ago, and if I had the right space would be adopting a Sulcatta or two. Instead I am working to acquire a second Hermanns!

When I started on this forum, I had three sulcatas. Now I have 27 adults of 4 different species, plus about 50 babies.

I must admit I’ve got the bug.
I’m already planning on dividing a section of my garden into several pens.
Id love to re-home an unwanted tortoise. There are SO many up for adoption in the U.K. anything from Redfoots, Herman’s, Russians and Sulcatas. It’s so hard to decide.

Just the opposite here.
This forum has helped me care for my tortoises. But has also helped me find great homes for most of them.
Down to just two. (If you count the baby)

I vote redfoot!!

LOL, I don't really know anyone on here that would talk you out of getting another tortoise unless your situation makes it impossible to properly care for another.
So yes, this forum and its members happily except the blame and will help you get even more if you got the room and the means

Always loved tortoise and wanted one before joining here. Purchased my sulcata and was happy to have the pet I always wanted for so long. I had seen leopard tortoises but not the South Africans. I started reading on here about their size and how personable they are. A few years later here I am with one. Now let’s just say I’ll blame the forum for my new SA leopard after joining [emoji846][emoji217]
