The Tortoise Sanctuary

We do not have a Tortoise Sanctuary that people can just turn up and visit or just see the Tortoises.

We do have several Trustees though that when we take in the Tortoises, we have places where they go until re-homed. This can usually take up to 6 months             depending on whether the Tortoise is fit or if ill until they are completely well          enough to be re-homed.

If the Tortoise is given a clean bill of health after an initial time and is going to a home where it is the only Tortoise, then it may be sooner that the 6 months.

We will not re-home a Tortoise with a home that has other Tortoises, without quarantining that Tortoise first, and checking that the owners Tortoises are well also.

Tortoises are not re-homed without attending education talks and home checks being made.
