Tortoise wanted cardiff

spiderbaitwebs · 10-07-2009, 05:26 PM

I would love a Red foot tortoise, my first choice is to rehome, but will happily take a herman or horsfeild as I would love to give one a home, one who needs a home.

Have a out door turfed run, home grown veg+[plants will of course make sure diets the right one for tortoise sepcies, fields next door full of weeds, will feed one weed based diet, have indoor and out door hiousing.
not to mention a few sneaky ones hidden in the garden XD

Have in door table with a possibility to convert a single bed into a massive table if the tortoise is to big for my current one.

Horsefields and hermans dont eat veg! a diet of flowers and weeds are best for them

ordered a digital camer to photograph the work I have done hope I can get a rescue tort they seem so sweet and in need

seriously considering giving up, all I ever get is people telling me my encloser sizes are not big enough, I didn't realise they needed a savannah to wander round in. I madea grass run and was getting to the pooint where the tort was gonna be lose in my room with the sizes people were telling me to build!

Eventually I will be moving to a canal boat so maybe I should just give up?

sorry you have confused me a bit

where has it been said

that your enclosure sizes are not big enough ????

am i missing something

the single bed size enclosure is a very good size

the other planned table
3 foot or 1m by 38 cm 15 inches
does seem a little small
to allow for a good temperature gradient
and to allow the tort space to exercise and develop good leg muscles

I had some dispariging comments from people I tried to buy one from, their house was four times the size of my grandparents and they did look down on me alot when I said I converted a single bed, its just rediculous how much space theres had I could have given up my entire garden and it wouldn't have been enough to these people.
