Advice for London Tortoise

[HackneyTort]

Hi

I have kept two torts in a spacious garden outside of the city for many years. I may need to relocate them to my garden in Hackney but I am very concerned about being able to protect them from harm, especially foxes. Foxes come into the garden during the day and night, and it would be very difficult to completely prevent this.

Does anyone have any experience of keeping tortoises in London or another high-fox area, and what did you do to keep the torts safe?

Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Hello and Welcome! What kind of tortoises do you have and how old are they? Live traps like @Grandpa Turtle 144 said would be a great idea.
