I still have two spur thighs and at the moment I have a baby tortoise, which is the offspring of the original two. Hopefully it will live to a good old age, although I am bit worried about its shell at the moment. I also have three cats! But all neutered, so no babies to come there. |

I'm not sure what species it is or any other info other than it is about thirty years old. I'm really excited but also a little bit nervous now that I've read up on the husbandry side. I've wanted a tortoise for many years now. I'd also like to get hold of another, so if there is anyone out there that could help.... I'll keep you posted on how I get on. I've just got to find a local society and attend a weigh in/check up clinic to see if we're well enough (and fat enough) for hibernation. Bye for now Rachel |

I am now desperate to acquire a tortoise or two as I have enjoyed looking after and improving the health of my friend's two tortoises for three weeks, improving their diet, and getting one to lay eggs on the owner's return. Unfortunately, he has refrigerated them, asuming them to be unfertilised. The tortoises are |Meditteraneam and I am not convinved they are both female. If anyone has a hatchling or an unwanted tortoise, I'd love to accomodate it. Ros Stanley. |

Needed to find out about the various breeds, diet etc. Would be grateful if any breeders or anyone selling vivariums ( even second hand ones - in good condition) could get in touch. Have seen Sulcatta tortoises in a local DIY store, alongside aquariums - think they seem nice - know they can grow very large ! Advice, thoughts etc. most welcome. I am now 10 years old, but my mum and dad are very willing to help out with the care etc. I want to be a marine biologist when I grow up, but think that terrapins would be even more difficult to look after than tortoises. Plan to try to get mine to live to at least 2070!!!! |

Name: Jessica P. Website: Referred by: Just Surfed On In From: Chandler, Arizona Time: 2000-08-27 04:22:31 Comments: I enjoyed your website, but I am having trouble finding information on Greek Tortioses. I have had a pair of adults for about six years now. They were exported from Egypt, but origionally were collected from Iran, I believe. They do quite well in our hot climate, but I had yet to see them breed and lay eggs. I would frequently see breeding behavior, but no digging of nest sites. Yet, just one week ago, to my suprise, I found two hatchlings and a day later one more. Not only had she dug a secluded nest site, which I still have been unable to find, the eggs naturally incubated in our hard clay based dirt during a very hot summer(temps. of up to 112 degrees)and the hatchlings showed up during our monsoon storms, which I believed may have triggered them to hatch. In any case these babies are extremely healthy, but I would love more information on breeding Greek Tortoises and raising hatchlings. I am also raising two Sulcata hatchlings that are nearing one year. Again great site, but wish there were more info out there on Greek Tortoises. |

Name: Raili Kannel Website: Referred by: Clicked on our Banner Advertisement From: Helsinki, Finland Time: 2000-07-03 12:06:24 Comments: Hi, Everybody! This is great - I found a baby Russian tortoise in a park in Helsinki the other week. Someone has either lost it or left it. I was picking chickweed for my canaries under a bush, and there he (or she) was. First I thought that it was an unusual looking stone, then a tortoise shell. I picked it up and out came the head and the limbs. I took him home, put him in the canary cage and gave him dandelion leaves and flowers, chickweed and lettuce. He tucked right in. Now I have rigged up a proper terrarium for him. I notified the humane society and pet shops that sell reptiles, but nobody has come forward. He seems to be in good nick with strong legs, bright eyes, ravenous appetite and he takes interest in his surroundings. He is tiny, only about 3 inches across. My husband does not want me to keep him because we have lots of other pets, but I have become quite attached to him and am going to keep him. I will take proper care of him and this site will be a great help. Thankyou. Raili |

The caresheets provides excellent information on diets and animal behaviours and the pics are great too, considering the inclusion of some rare species like the ploughshare. I have successfully raised 3 Indian Stars from baby for the last 6 years and a small Elongata for a year. Have also recently acquired a pair of juvenile Indian Tent Tortise/turtle but could not seem to find good turtle-info anywhere, specially this species. So how about introducing turtles to the site? |

Just one thing would be nice with regard to the 'Your Tortoise' page. You pose a number of questions - rightly so - but could you suggest a book for basic beginers at the end of the questions. Although anyone just starting with tortoises will probably join a club it would be helpful to know which book gives the best information before actually getting tortoises. |

I got him for my first birthday, he's called Tommy the Ferocious Tortoise, he's brown & about 8" long and he's been awake for about a fortnight and ate some cucumer on Friday. I'm still puting him in the greenhouse at night as it's a bit chilly. If anyone has any breeding suggestions please let me know. Thanks, Susan. |

If you had a little spot where you had turtles dancing that might really attract some attention. The way you have it only people who want to know about turtles come to your site. Take my site for example. I made it for everyone not just the nerds out there. I have tons of people coming to it too. I really think you should take my advice. I also think you should have post cards or something like that. they should be funny too. Like say "speed demon" on them or something like that. P.S. How fast do turtles move? |

They are 3 and 4 years old. Two 3 year old tortoises, died when we hibernated them for only 5 weeks. The elder one, Mighty, never rests, and spends his winter time wandering around the house. He seems happy and knows my voice and moves from room to room as I do. He goes to bed at night, in the vivarium, along with Monty his little friend. |
