poor thing

looks like an awful tank

before someone reports them maybe you could email her and ask her if she will put the ad on here instead,that way it will get a good home

that poor tortoise

shows how little information places such as pet shops give out.

Poor tort, hope he gets a home he deserves soon.

Well, I've learnt something today! I didn't think live animals were allowed to be sold on eBay...

Thanks Alicia, I didn't think that they were!

Wish I lived a bit nearer, I've got three Horsfields already, another one wouldn't make much difference! (Just need room for four indoor tortie tables instead of three!)

they will,but i have emailed her and said that on this site we love our tortoises very much and at least when ebay take this off as it is against the rules,the lady can get help here with homing him

Really not good that ebay are allowing this... its had a bid too... not sure if thats a good thing (may be someone who genuinely wants to look after the tort) or a bad thing ( someone may buy it who hasn't got a clue to give it a proper home...)

well done Jackie tho for getting back to her and telling her about SW

)...

give it a few hours and it will be taken down, I've just reported it.
