Advert Details

For sale due to no time for them.

Both tortoises are 5 years old and we have had them since babies. We believe one is male and one is female. They do not get on together so we had to separate them as the bigger one (we believe to be a him) bullied the small one and actually took the end of (we believe it to be a her) tail off! Vet trips and all is healed she just has a short stub of a tail.
Both eat complete tortoise pellet, a whole range of fresh fruit and veg, some wild weeds (although we tend to just pick the dandelions and wash them thoroughly.)

Neither tortoise is truly sexed. This is only our opinion.
Both are handled, female is a lot smaller and calmer than the male. She is also a lot lighter in colour. Male has a slight over grown beak which we are trimming at home. (More than happy to show you how it’s done or it can be done by a vet) we would rather be truthful!
Both love to have a mooch about the house and garden.
Neither have been hibernated because in our opinion they have been too small/light in weight in previous years and we didn’t want to risk it.

The male comes with a lidless viv DxLxH - 18”x29.5”x14.5”, recently new exo terra UVA and UVB bulb + holder, plus tank decoration etc.
£110

The female comes with an exo terra Vivarium with mesh lid, 2 doors that open at the front and a fake rock background. The lid can be taken off too. DxLxH - 18”x90”x12.5”, recently new exo terra UVA and UVB bulb + holder, plus tank decoration etc.
£130

Important Reminders

Be extra cautious with online transactions!
We encourage you to read these guidelines before buying or adopting any reptile.

Have you done your research?

Carry out the research so you have all the necessary knowledge of the pet you are getting. Since owning a pet is a big commitment, you should research about the breed fully to make sure it fits your current lifestyle and budget.

Have you seen the pet?

Take time to visit the advertiser's home to confirm if they are genuine. Do not settle for online communications and photos. UK Pets does not verify the authenticity of all advertisers. The advertiser should allow you to personally see the pets. If they keep on giving you excuses why you could not visit their home or the address stated in the advert is not the accurate and permanent location of the pet, consider this a red flag.

Avoid online payment

Never pay anything online through money transfer companies especially if you have not personally visited the advertiser and seen the pet, this includes deposit and delivery cost for the pet. There is also no means to recover your money if issues arise. Before closing a deal.

Responsible Advertiser

The advertiser should only release the reptile when they are 8 weeks old or older. They should be responsible enough to know that separating the pet from the mother earlier results in medical and behavioural issues.

If you have reasons to believe that an Advertiser is not genuine, please report them to us immediately.
