Hi everyone,
We are a young couple from the UK but we are currently living in Mallorca. We have a Horsfield called Lennon, we have had him just under a year. Unfortunately on Thursday night he was bitten by a dog who have smashed his way through Lennons outdoor house and into his shelter. He has a hole in his shell but we are off to the vets tomorrow for him to be glued up and have some antibiotic injections.
We joined this group as we wanted some advice before we got hold of the Vet but he has pointed us in the right direction so now we are just praying for a healthy and speedy recovery. He seems okay in himself and is eating well, weeing and pooing fine, is still running around the place and being a naughty torty so we are hoping that he will be just fine
I, Vikki, have always loved Tortoise since I was a little girl. I had one as a teenager but he was a very poorly tortoise due to a bad start in life so he died after 2 years of me having him. I have also had a baby horsfield but I couldn't bring her to Mallorca with us so she now lives with a friend of mine so I'm still able to see her and give advice on the best care for her. I have also had a Turtle but I only rescued her from a friend who was not looking after her very well so she was rehomed to somebody with experience not long after. I love learning about Tortoise and their care. My dream would be to have a Tortoise sanctuary out here in Mallorca one day.
Thank you for reading
