Just one more.......
I know I say after each tort its the last one, but I'm aftaid I did it again
As some of you will have known I was out to collect a rehomer today. Well 250 miles, a good few hours and 6 counties later I collected this little thing. I'll be honest and say not quite what I expected, but shes welcome here. Shes not had the best start I got there to find her living in her own filth in a 1ft viv with dried up lettuce and tort pellets. Shes had a nice warm bath now, you should have seen the filth that came off her when she had a good wash. Hopefully now I can give her the care she needs and deserves. I have taken a few pics, but now I've left her to settle in peace for a while. Before After Thats all for now. I will add some updates of her sometime in the week. Oh also not sure shes a girl will ask for a few opinions at some point. Name suggestions welcomed.

You're a knight in shining armour, Pete. She's a lovely little tort and I guess her Christmas wish has come true.

Thanks for all the kind comments. My first rehomer arranged by myself, so ive got one of those cheesy grins on my face
Linz about 4/5. I will add some more pics of her through the week. You poor people expect to be bombarded.
