Hello From Northern Ireland

Triffik · 04-07-2011, 03:13 PM

Hi All,

I'm new and in desperate need of help and advice to make the life of my tortoise a good one. I rescued it because it wasn't being looked after properly but I don’t think I’m doing a much better job. She is a hermans who is about 6 or 7 years old.

I see this forum has lots of good information and points me in the direction of relevant sites such as the tortoise table etc but sometimes I feel im looking and reading so much I get totally lost.

I’m in Northern Ireland and if there is someone on the forum from here I would especially like to talk to them.

Anyway hello and im looking forward to learning lots from you all – prepare to be sick of me asking questions!

it's really hard when you're reading so much contradictory information on the web. i felt the same when i was researching before we got our torts. you've found the right place to get the correct info to care for your new addition... well done for having rescued her. what's her name? look fwd to seeing pics
