Default Good morning.

Good morning.
After months of research and then selecting our tortoise 2 weeks ago, we finally bought him/her home on Saturday.
We have a Margenated tortoise .
Cutiest lil thing ever 😀
Eating well, I'm managing to find dandelions here.
Had a bath this morning, lol wasn't keen on that.
Not able to decide on a name, we did like Tiny Tim but after reading lots of face book pages we have sicovered there's lot of tortoises named this!
So at the mo , mines nameless.
Looking forward to learning lots from you experts. Xx

Welcome to the forum, Kim.
There are a few with margies here, so plenty of good advice if you need it.
Hope you find a lovely name soon. Looking forward to hearing more about this little one.

welcome Kim and Nameless. I must admit after years of loving older tortoises I am really captivated by the little ones. My little margies are little gems they are so lovely and docile, and come over to see what I am up to. Pickies are a must ! and tell us all about him...CB.

Hi Kim and welcome to the forum. I think the Margies look beautiful and we have a few keepers (and breeders too) with these lovely tortoises.

I found it was good to come up with neutral names for babies in case they grow up to be the 'wrong' sex for the name!
