Tortoise found - Bridgewater, Somerset-OWNER FOUND

pwinkie03 · 14-04-2012, 05:20 PM

Saw this on a facebook group today so spreading to word:

"Tortoise found in bridgwater somerset last night. it was found in a friends garden just wandering around. it's about 10 inches long"

"it turns out to be rather an old spur thighed that is not chipped john heyward has its details"

"john has its details and ive posted on lisas page and tortoise trust"

"The lady whos friend has found it has just said she is popping over there later with some heat lamps ect so that it is well cared for and they are also going to the vet to check if it is chipped"

hopefully the owner will be reunited soon, its in good hands in the meantime by the sounds of it

thanks! i had to open them in paint, crop then resize by pixel ratio individually then copy each one onto a new paint doc, line them up and add the names. There probably is an easier way to do it, its not hard to do but hard to explain lol! If you cant work it out and you want one, id happily make one for you! just send some pics and names

Louise x
