I hope you find a great home for Tyler x

I am sure you are making a sensible decision for you and Tyler, sometimes we have to make hard choices but I am sure the right home will be out there for him x

Thankyou all for your kind words, I feel terrible, and look in his eyes and melt, but I have to think of the others x

Lynne I saw your for sale post the other day, it must have been so hard to chose who's going, have you had any response? I'm not surprised that I haven't had one as who wants a male horsfield there are so many up for rehoming or sale x

Have posted here and on several Facebook reptile group pages - lots of nice comments but no new homes as yet. Mind you, I put so many conditions on the post that I may well have frightened people off Can't just let our babies go anywhere tho

Yes I agree Lynne, I've only posted on here so far, but if no response then ill have to rehome him through the TPG x

He would make the perfect tortoise for someone that only wants to have 1 as a pet, the problem is that most people on here already have at least that.

You could advertise on Gumtree or Preloved but just be fussy about who you sell to. I had someone contact me about a hatchling yesterday and initially arranged for them to come round, then I asked about their setup and it was a viv with pellet substrate, they had bought tortoise pellets for its food and a 240w light? I phoned at this point to try and give some advise but got the feeling that whatever I said they would agree to but no changes would be made, basically they just wanted a tortoise!

I have, since that conversation, decided that I dont want to sell to them and so have backed out, at the end of the day you can call the shots as you have the tortoise and they want it

Thankyou Alison, i don't really want to put him on pre loved or gum tree as I won't know the people, but I might have to think about it though, might have to do it sooner rather than later as he is biting Roxy, and what with Astraia now being male I've got to seperate Athena from him so its making more room....the trials of tortoise owning....why can't males just behave aye then all would be ok x
