3-4yr old male Horsfield tort needs new home

tasha3711 · 01-09-2008, 05:36 PM

I have two male horsfield tortoises aged between 3-4 years whome i've had to separate as one was very dominant & was bullying, chasing & trying to hurt the other constantly. As they mainly live indoors (but do go out on fine warm days) i do not have the room indoors to have two good sized tortoise enclosures. Because of this we have come to the difficult decission to rehome one to give him more space & a fresh start. We have decided it best to rehome Herbie (who is not dominant) in the hope he can go and live with other horsfields with an experienced tortoise owner. We thought it best to keep the dominant one to ensure he stays living happily alone & can not inflict any harm. Where as Herbie never retaliated & i am very confident he would live happily again with some friends. I would be willing to rehome Herbie to an experienced tortoise owner as a companion for little to no cost if he didn't require his equipment to go with him as i could resell this (u.v.b lamp, heat lamp, enclosure etc) As it cost me £115 to set up a second home for Herbie to be separate. He would need to be collected in person or travel through 'Transtort' who do charge depending on the distance. We are in Trowbridge, Wiltshire. Please get in touch if you feel you could take Herbie on & give him a happy home & fresh start. I can e-mail you pictures if you would like & i am happy to answer any questions. Natasha

HERBIE NOW HAS A NEW HOME. SO IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE.
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP. NATASHA
