3 year old female horsfield

[Jemma1]

I'm sadly putting Joey up for rehoming as i have had to sell my entire breeding group due to going travelling and mums illness meaning shes not coping.

Joey was my first ever hatchling, hatched 22/8/2010, so is coming up to 3 years old.

Joey needs a special home with someone who is not intending to breed her. She hatched with some form of abnormality in her back legs, and although she gets around fine, she is a little slow and i cant immagine she would be able to dig a nest with them in the future.

I'm going to be honest now, Joey and several of my other tortoises all contracted RNS this year, i think it just spread quickly when one caught it. It is easily and cheaply treated with antibiotics in the mouth but i think its still important to make any potential owners aware.
So she may need a home on her own, or certainly not one with lots of other tortoises just incase it comes back at any point in the future as i would hate to think of it spreading to a whole group.

I need a very special home for Joey, hints why i am telling the absolute truth and not attempting to sell her. She was my first hatched and if i wasn't off travelling, would keep her.

If interested, please let me know. You can email me on jemma.butt@gmail.com or PM on the forum.

I am based in southampton but may be able to meet in Hertfordshire.
