Hi guy's, have moved now and got a huuugggeee garden and was thinking of getting a tortoise, it would be going out through the day on fine days and in a tort table at night and when the weather is a bit crappy. Just wondered if anyone else have horsefield's, that can give me a few pointer's. Ta scott. |

was thinking only recently that we'd not heard from you Scott
just FYI, i've been advised that there's a dodgy batch of CB09 Horsfields around, just like the batch of CF08 royals that all died last year 
hope yours is from a reliable source |

Good to hear that you're getting sorted Scott. I'm afraid my tortoise knowledge is from the 1970's bung it in the garden and feed it scraps era . Was it my offer of help after the fire that made you move further north then  . |

Not got torts - but we are picking a breeding couple of horsefields up on Saturday. So we can share experience as we get it.
The Dark Side has a very good section on tortoises that may be worth a look at if you haven't already...
http://www.reptileforums.co.uk/shelled-turtles-tortoise/
until we get some experience and maybe build at tort site, there are so many good ones it probably isn't worth it.
http://www.tortoise-world.com/ is a great site with a good forum too - will be joining up ourselves when we get Speedy and Slow Poke
