Hello all! I inherited a Greek tortoise this summer. Around 50 years old. I have been researching hibernation but thought I'd check with the experts on here, if possible. Timmy is used to being hibernated in a garage (in the North of England). However, I do not have a a garage. My possible...

Timmy. Ibera Greek tortoise. At least 50 years old.

I usually feed the bird with bird seed. I haven't been doing this since my tortoise arrived last weekend. I was wondering whether it's safe in case they knock some over and he ends up eating it? Thank you

The yellow box was only to transport him to his new home today

Hello! We believe he is a male Greek? This is right? What species and gender is he? Thank you very much :)

Hello! I am currently unsure on this. I have been told possibly Greek - but I will be asking the forum this at weekend when I have pictures of his back legs - if there’s spurs there. But here’s some pictures: Thank you

Hello! I am inheriting a tortoise, Timmy, from my partner’s grandmother this weekend. We have spent the last 3 months preparing for him (building enclosures, tortoise proofing the garden, researching, etc) He is used to a “basic” diet of lettuce and a few of the same weeds. I would like to...

Thank you! This is great! I'll take a read

Wow - this is amazing! Thank you so much. I will make sure to monitor him on his new diet - I really hope he takes to it but expect him to be upset about all the changes happening to him! I have noted down the foods I can give him - thank you! Are they not allowed strawberry? I have seen a few...

Hello all, I am a newbie. I am inheriting a tortoise in a few weeks. I have been preparing for him over the last 3 months (getting enclosure, making sure the garden is secure etc). Now I have a greenhouse, I am going to try to grow him some food. I have ordered a seed packet with these in...

I will be able to provide more pictures when he comes into my care, especially of his bum and feet, which I understand help with identification?

Sorry - I will be new to ownership and am i the research stage. A lot to learn still

Hello all! Does anybody know what breed Timmy is, please? He's been in the family 47 years and I'm about to inherit him. He had 2 owners before this - so we're unsure of his actual age. However, we'd say he's max 55. I believe he might be a Greek? But any confirmation would be grateful...

Thank you! I have a loft i can hibernate him in - or i could put him in a family member' garage since he is used to that. Do you think the shed is better than the green house over the summer months - on a night? Thanks again
