    Rehoming a Red Footed Tortoise

    I am looking to rehome a female red-footed tortoise. I took her in May 2018 from a terrible situation. The previous owners (a relative of my boyfriend) had her in a 10 gallon aquarium and their dog had already attacked her. They were threatening to just let her go in the yard. I took her...

    Looking into Re-homing options for a 3 year old female Russian.

    When I bought my tortoise from PetSmart, I was 19 and stupid... I have since been browsing this forum for a while, looking into ways to better care for her. Over the years, I've gotten better at tortoise care, though I'm not sure if it's enough. At the moment, I have her in a 3X4 indoor...

After reading many posts on this forum, I've realized that I do...

    Hello! I have had Ernie for about 10 years now. The vet estimates he was between 3-5 when I first got him, so he would be about 13-15 years old. Unfortunately my husband is military and we have to move to a place that does not allow exotics, and Ernie cannot come with us. I am in Southern...

    Russian Tortoise Re-homing from VA

    Unfortunately my situation has changed and I don't have the time to devote to my little guy like I would like. I would love to re-home him with someone who can provide for him better. His hatch date is 05/07/2016, so he's almost 3 yo, very active and healthy. He's never been a fan of his soaks...
