Thank you all for your responses, I really appreciate the advice! I will stay away from the Indian star and look at rehoming an alternative species that would do fine in the UK. I'm glad I posted here before making the commitment.
Hey,
Thank you for your response. We're based in the north of the UK so it's a cold climate for sure.
If it's not a good idea to get indian stars in the UK climate I'll look into other breeds, we want to ensure the tortoise is comfortable for sure.
Hey all,
We're looking into purchashing/rehoming a tortoise and I'm just looking for some advice.
We wanted to find a breed that grows a decent size so we've settled on an Indian star.
We're first time tortoise owners, is there anything specific you think we need to know about this breed...
