REHOMED -- Boris the Hermann needs a new home, Manchester based at present
Posted: 01 Oct 2018, 14:05
Hi all
Sadly i need to re-home my Hermann tortoise Boris. I have had him for about 3 years now, he was a rescue tortoise, so has no papers. His shell is very slightly pyramided but that is the way he arrived from his previous owner and this has not got any worse. i have looked after him and fed him the correct weeds - he loves dandelions and plantain best, i normally buy a mixed Mediterranean seed packet and grow them from scratch.
The reason he needs to move on is that he does not like being inside, and i cannot keep him out all year, its just too cold. He may like a bigger indoor table better but i do not have the room. he is quite a character and runs after us and nibbles slippers, shoes and toes if you are not careful. i want him to go to an experienced owner preferably with an outdoor heated enclosure, someone who can spend time with him, as i am at work all day. he can come with an indoor table with lamp etc but he needs a bigger one really.
He has been successfully fridge hibernated the last 2 winters. he is reluctant to have baths but stays in longer if it is just warmer than tepid.
i can only let him go to someone who will love him and care properly for him and maybe send me the occasional photo because i will miss him a lot.
