Isn't Cotswold one of the bigger and respected zoos in the UK? I would think they have keepers who might know a little more about keeping tortoises than the average tortoise keeper.

The local council issue places like that their lisence and they have to meet certain standards of care so they would be the one who would pay them a visit. If you do have to complain find a good care sheet and email that but make sure its from a good source, have a look at the tortoise trust site as they are usually known to most.
