REHOMED: Spiff -- Hermann's Tortoise
Posted: 05 Feb 2019, 23:08
Spiff is still hibernating, but sadly her owner passed away a short while ago and she is needing a special forever home, preferably in the Nottingham area or with someone who is willing to travel there for collection.
She is an elderly Testudo hermanni boettgeri -- her exact age is unknown, but she has been with the current family for over 25 years. She is used to being secure and outdoors during the warm weather and inside at night. She hibernates each year and as far as we know she enjoys a fresh wild diet. She also lays eggs after coming out of hibernation each year, so you will have to be alert and provide her with a suitable nesting area when the time comes.
If you would be interested in offering Spiff the perfect home, please send details and, if possible, photos of relevant setups (indoors and outdoors), plus any other information that you feel will be relevant (for example past experience, species of tortoise currently kept, etc.) to Nina@thetortoisetable.org.uk and we will pass your replies on to the owner, who will get back to you a.s.a.p.
