Unhappy Elongated tortoise

I bought this tortoise naively thinking it was the same as the tortoise I owned previously for 40 years.I now know he is not.He is a lovely little chap but I do not have the facilities to make his life pleasant and give him the living conditions he needs.I have joined this forum to find out if there is a rehoming centre in Liverpool area.He is about 7 ins long and I believe he is male but I could be wrong.Please do not judge me I will miss him and dont want payment but he deserves more than I can provide.

Hi Allen,
No judgement here It might though help if you posted your e-mail address as you won't be able to use the PM facility until you have made 5 posts. Also a picture of the tortoise would help greatly.

Danny

Good luck Allen. They are lovely torts; better to part with the little guy if you can't properly cater for his needs. I'm not sure that there's many people on here who keep them - good luck finding a home.
ps did you get hime from a breeder? If so, might the breeder take him back?

Not good at uploading pics but he is exactly as in the pics,thanks for your replies.I know he originally came from a breeder in Manchester but thats all I know as this species does not require certificates,checked with DEFRA.

Hi I keep and breed these lovely torts. any chance you could e- mail me a photo? why do you think you could not look after him? I am happy to take you through their needs or could possibly offer a home if necessary, although we do already have a lot of boys if it is one. It is also a long waybfor us as I am not driving at present. Let mecsee if I can help you keep him it does notvrequire that much kit.
Contact mcoleman@asachelt.org
Boys have much largervtails and when in breeding condition red noses!
