Hi

I was just looking around on preloved and came across this ad, http://www.preloved.co.uk/adverts/sh.../tortoise.html, this is terrible, can we do something about it, it cannot live like this, these people should be shot.

what a shame. It never ceases to amaze me! My Hermoine was an unplayed with childs toy. She lived in an identical container & for food she had dock leaves, privet & a whole uncut tomatoe - bigger than her! Her shell is awful, square pyramids.

They shouldnt really sell her without paperwork but then again if you complain to the site she will be potentially left where she is, in their "care!" Lets hope someone gets her who does proper research & cares!

It's just disgusting isn't it.

The RSPCA or the alike should be sponsored to trawl these sort of sites. Laziness to research a pet before buying is not an excuse for pure ignorance or neglect.

I am not even gonna look at this link, just makes me to cross and sadly I can't save everything

Aww, shame she has to live in that small plastic container. Very, very sad.

Hope someone buys her soon and realises she shouldn't be living like that x

That needs reporting to the RSPCA...

I've just registered with preloved to find out more. The tortoise is in Wigan. is anyone up that way who can alert the local RSPCA?
