Free Health Checks Birmingham and Cheltenham - Page 3

I took mine to the Bristol one last year and thought it was brilliant. They were concerned about her small nostrils, and the vet had a look at her. They gave her a really good check over. I was very impressed and will definitely be going back in April. It's good to have the passport as a record as well.

The Bristol one is good. It is also good to see they still use the passport system.

With the "Health check" season fully underway, how many visitors, do you expect to see at the Birmingham and Cheltenham events?

Well i can say that the Birmingham Health Check sees 200+ tortoises every time, with many regulars that have been coming for years, people are normally queing at 9am when it doesn't open till 10! A lot of this is thanks to Maggie and Paul who have built it up over the years, and helped save many tortoises. Its a busy day but well worth the effort.

Any tips for a first-timer at Birmingham? If there are queues at 9am is it worth waiting til later in the day or do we need to register by a certain time?
