2 year old russian tortoise
Advert Details
X1 2 year old russian tortoise, male. Raised in our home. Well socialised and and used to all household noises. Certificate available from original breeding owner. Eats leafy greens, dandelions, and has fruit from time to time in a small amount. (Please Google what fruits and vegetables are allowed). Calcium dust occasionally sprinkled on top of food to support bone health. He should be bathed atleast twice a week to maintain a healthy shell and stay hydrated. He has a palette for his water and food, a hideout to cool down and to bask on, a heat lamp to maintain body heat as they cant produce their own heat as they are cold blooded animals. He lives in an enclosure filled with soil and rocks. ( can decorate it yourself, good to have different textures for him to walk over) Do not clean the enclosure with strong disinfectants as it can be toxic for him.
Also selling his enclosure which we got for £200 but selling for £50 with all equipment included. (Lamp)

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.
