Spartacus arrived this morning and he is so cute. HE arrived fit and healthy and ready to take on the world - slowly. At the moment, he is just basking in the glow of his awesomeness (well, actually the lamp). Thank you so much for this beautiful pet - as well as the assistance you provided when we were buying this pet.

hi guys

finally got around to leaving a message of thanks for brilliant service we have had from yourselves. Silent Bob the horsefield arrived on the 6th Sept and settled in brilliantly, ate from day one and loves being in the garden in the sun and loves his bath as long as it does not last more than 2-3 mins, whole family have fallen for the little guy who is now very much a part of the family. Thank you so much for everything, these tortoises are a real credit to all that you do and look much healthier and happier than our local pet shop torts!!

Thanks again

After living in Tenerife for many years we had tortoises roaming free, my children feed and cared for them when they came to visit over the years and it was a sad day when we left them behind to return back for good to the UK. We contacted the Tortoise shop and within weeks of speaking to them we received our 2 Horsfield Tortoises and their new Daisy the tortoise housing (Fab alternative to box standard homes) We have had them a few weeks now and they have made my 2 teenagers :-), both in excellent condition and A1 health, we called them Cosmo and Reptar! \"Dont ask!!!\" I reccomend this supplier to anyone looking for a tortoise,always their to answer any questions and prompt delivery. We are looking to purchase 2 more soon. We cannot thank Les enough for his help.

I have never bought anything from The Tortoise Shop but doing research on where to get another Tortoise from The Tortoise Shop looks like the best place. I can\'t wait till next year when I shall get another.

They make Fantastic pets.

We are the proud owners of a 2 year old horsfield tortoise called Henry. He arrived on the 24th July and settled in almost straight away. He loves his deluxe kit house & sunbathing on the piece of slate we have put under his lamp. He\'s sleeps a lot but when he\'s active he\'s very active and takes it all in ! theTortoiseShop has been an invaluable source of advice & have supplied us with a happy healthy tortoise - all credit to them !

Hi, Les & Janine. This morning I received my baby Herman tortoise form you and she is sooooo gorgeous. Well worth the wait, Hermione enjoyed a welcome warm bath after her long journey followed by a quick bask before exploring her new home. After poddling around for some six hours and several pieces of sow thistle later it was time for another bath, a supper of clover and off to bed in her little house; plum tuckered out!! Can\'t wait for tomorrow. Wish every tortoise was born @ The Tortoise Shop and sold with such help and advice. Thanks again for all your help, Yvonne, Hermione & family

He loves the Ultimate House which I purchased at the same time from the Tortoise Shop. I recieved Excellent Service and I will recommend this Shop 100%.

I have just awoke my two Horsfields from their rather late 'first' hibernation and both are now 'back in action' and raring to go!! I must have driven both Les & Janine to distraction with my constant questions and worries - but as usual all my fears were put to rest with their excellent advise during what I felt to be a very worrying time. I followed all the tips etc., (as listed on this website)and hibernated my beloved torts using the 'refrigeration' method. I now know that if followed correctly my 'babies' will be just fine with all future 'sleeps' - once again a very BIG thankyou to THE TORTOISE SHOP for all their help.

Im looking forward to the summer and monty can enjoy the sunshine in his little outside pen :) Anyway you could not ask for any more help and support, everything monty was provided with was amazing and top marks to you. I will wait a little bit longer and get him a friend to talk too. He is a funny little character and is currently enjoying his logs and things to climb on.

 Les,
I phoned you about 3 weeks ago, worried sick that the first tortoise was picking on the new baby tortoise (even although they were only a few months apart).  You advised me to calm down and everything would settle, and just to make sure there was plenty food for both of them.  I just wanted to say that I\'m so relieved that the two are so close now, and virtually sleep on top of each other, walk around the house together and watch after each other, if we lift one out of the pen until it is returned.  It was the best decision ever, to have the second tortoise for company - and our little family is complete.  The two children absolutely adore them and we couldn't have been give more demonstrative loving pets!!  Many thanks once again for everything Les.

Angela

 I received my two Hermann hatchlings, Benny and June, last week and they are absolutely gorgeous!!!  They  have settled into their new home really well, in fact they were eating as soon as I placed them onto the tortoise table. I cannot take my eyes off them;  they're such lovely little characters.   I am also really pleased with the ultimate kit which I purchased.  The polished wood table and cabinet are like an additional piece of furniture.

Having never previously owned a tortoise I have had lots of queries and I cannot thank Jannine and Les enough for their guidance and advice.  I will certainly recommend The Tortoise Shop to anyone who is contemplating adding a tortoise to their family.

Thanks to Jannine, Les and everyone behind the scenes.   Jackie

She is a lovely little character and has become one of the family. We could not imagine life without her now and believe that she is the best pet ever-we recomend having a tortoise as a pet to everyone! Thank you so much for ruby she is amazing!

 Hi there!
My name is Cheeky Boy & I am an 8 week old marginated tortoise.  I have just arrvied at my new home & I love it ~ you should see my plant pot bed ~ it is fantastic.

Will go now, I am feeling a bit peckish, then it is off to bask under the lamp ~ it\'s a hard life I know.
Special thanks to Janine & Les for educationg my 3 year old owner Libby on how to look after me.
Bye,
Cheeky Boy.x.

 We have just been given the most beautiful, friendly tortoise in the world!!  He's a marginated tortoise and we're calling him Ferruccio Petros - Greek for 'little iron one' like a rock/stone. This little thing loves to explore and goes round his pen really fast, then climbs into your hand for a cuddle!!!!  He's amazing and the children absolutely adore him.  I was under the impression tortoises didn't like to be handled - but this one is so warm and actually seeks attention. However, he also likes 'quiet time' and we give him plenty space.  Many, many thanks Les - a dream come true for the children

 Received our Horsfield tortoise yesterday, I had originally decided to have a Herman hatchling but after talking to Les decided that having a two year old Horsfield would be less of a worry being a first time tortoise owner. 'John' has settled in well and devoures anything you put infront of him much like my 9 year old son Cameron. He is amazing and absolutely gorgeous. He runs around his home and is really fast. I can't take my eyes off him. This site is so good and everyone I have spoken to were so helpful and told me all the things I would need to consider now and when the tortoise is an adult. There was no hard sell and no pressure to buy. Thankyou thankyou thankyou for making a dream come true. As soon as I feel confident with John I will be getting him a friend and a bigger bedroom just incase!!!

At first we had trouble trying to find something he would eat cause he was rather fussy, like me. But les and the others working at the tortoise shop were ever so helpful. I could always phone up if i was worried and les sent regular emails to see how he was getting on. He is now much bigger and fully healthy.

thanks guys

  I wanted to buy another tortoise and found this site, I am horrified to find how little I know about my much loved tortoise Mrs O'Kelly, because of this web site I will now review her accomodation, food and hibernation. When that is all done I will be buying a tortoise from The Tortoise Shop because I am so impressed.

 Tilly was bought as a birthday present for me two years ago.  Since then she has provided us with hours of entertainment and all our friends are fascinated with her.  Tilly is not our only pet, she is very interested in one of our cats, and regularly snuggles into his stomach on winter nights, especially when the two of them are in front of the fire...
I cannot thank Les enough for the help he has given me.

During a family day out we saw a large tortoise and decided to buy one for our home.Not knowing where to purchase a tortoise from we searched the internet and found the Tortoise Shop .com website and were impressed by the information it contained.After a  very  friendly and helpful phone call i decided to order a Horsefield tortoise. As promised the tortoise arrived on the Tuesday morning.He seems very healthy and after just three days is already part of the family.Any questions i know the Tortoise Shop .com are just a phone call away.I would recommend buying from them.

Comments : This is my second comment!! Just thought I'd mention that I have just visited a reptile shop in the Birmingham area (out of curiosity, whilst visiting a relative) which sold various tortoises, all of which were housed in vivariums. They looked sad little things, not at all like my two Horsfield's purchased from The Tortoise Shop in March this year. My two babies are both healthy, lively and strong - unlike the torts in the vivariums, mine are kept as recomended by Les. Once again, thanks Tortoise Shop - your tort's are delivered in the best of health. My babies are loved and adored and provide hours of entertainment. To those considering offering a home to these adorable creatures - The Tortoise Shop is the only place to consider!! Well done Les.

Comments : I have been very fortunate in finding your website, I have been wanting to own a pair of tortoises for a few years, its amazing all the wrong advice I had been  given by supposedly expert tortoise dealers, I am still researching all the knowledge I need to know before finally deciding to purchase my young charges, I did not realize how complex it is in owning a tortoise, and not to be taken lightly once you are the proud owner! keep up the valuable work and advice, for those like myself who will take it seriously need all the acurate information from sources like yourselves. I will be ordering very soon. Thank you

Comments: My new baby arrived yesterday, for my 50th Birthday presie from my hubby and two sons, I am now trying to think of a name for her other than the name while she was being ordered of Speedy 2. Its great to have such a sweet little one so many years without a tortoise. My first tortoise, my first wedding anniversary presie from my hubby, died after contracting a virus and I missed her dearly and have been hinting for years. Speedy 2 is now settled into my sons room while he is at university. Hubby said that she was moving around and eating well after she arrived, she was sleeping by the time I came home from work. She may be a he, so I.m off to think up a good name for her. Many thanks

We saw this site and so far we feel that you certainly know what you're talking about and we would not hesitate to buy from you when we decide to home one.
The facilities in which the tortoises are inhabited look as if they are of the highest standard and we're sure that this is down to youre expertise of tortoise welfare.

Comments: We are going to be given two tortoises from a friends Mother who is getting old .The tortoises are at least 40 years old.I have always wanted tortoises as a child ever since I saw really old ones at Nairobi Zoo in Kenya I think they over 100 - 150 years old or more ? Although our friends have already given us good advice and ensured that our garden is Tortoise friendly your website has enabled me to find out even more about the care of them .
Thank you very much
