It is a case of asking the prospective buyer to provide information about how they intend to house and feed him and if you dont like what you hear you wait for the next buyer or work with them to give advise. So far with my hatchling sales people have been really open to recieve help with the setup and I always point them to SW and TTTable. Anyway good luck whatever you decide x |

Actually Alison, I took a look on preloved this morning and there is a tortoise rescue in ashford Kent, they have a Facebook page as well, I responded to the advert and they responded back quite quickly, they keep and rehome horsfields, amongst other species, they have pictures of their other rescues, so might be a bit of luck, fingers crossed x

After a couple of dubious enquiries about Tyler, I have now found him a lovely home in the countryside in Kent, the new owner already keeps various mediteranean species and is a member of the tortoise trust, he will be going to his new home on Sunday morning, before he takes a rescued sulcata to a zoo.
I feel a bit more comfortable in rehoming him now x

Thanks Becci, will be very sad to see him go but as long as I know he will be well cared for I would be much happier letting him go, I'm taking him Sunday morning and going to see the new owners set ups x

I wasn't happy with enquirers I had either Lynne, it just didn't sound right, so wasn't entirely happy to rehome him with them. I hope you do find good new homes for your 2 boys Lynne, ill keep a look out as well for you x
