Keeping Giant Tortoises - Help & Advice Needed!

[MrsCorky]

Hi All,

We currently have Marginated Tortoises which are great but this is leading to bigger things...................

For a few years now we have seriously considered getting Burmese Browns or one of the other giant tortoises. We would like to hear from anyone that keeps them as to housing for juveniles and then when they are older, their personalities, and what they require to be successful and happy.

We are lucky enough to have lots of outdoor space and understand that these tortoises are expensive to keep and can be destructive but we are willing to put whatever it needs in to keeping them.

We live on the South coast of England. If perhaps anyone is close enough we would love to be able to meet some of these amazing animals (and their owners too obviously!)

Look forward to hearing from you!

Claire
