Best friend

Isn’t it strange how a little baby sulcata tortoise can become so close to you after a couple of years and be like your best friend I love him to bits

Yes,and it doesn't have to be a sulcata, either -it is just the same with a hermanns tortoise too, I assure you. Tortoises are very special creatures !!

Yes so true but he is my first tortoise I have ever had

Yes so true but he is my first tortoise I have ever had

What is his name? As you can guess, ours is called Zola, and he is now 20 - he was just a tiny pathetic baby when we first had him, and I think all the care and love we gave him helped him to bond with us - us being my husband and me. I think I love him more every day, and he truly behaves as though he loves us back. He is my first tortoise too, and I am hoping he will be with me for the rest of my life . We didn't know much about tortoise keeping when we got him 20 years ago - there was very little information around - you are very lucky to have this forum to give you help and encouragement. They will not think you silly, whatever you ask. I live in the UK too - Devon, by the way.
I am so glad you got him,and clearly you want to give him the best environment you can - we met an elderly lady who had her tortoise for her 7th birthday - and she is in her 80s - she still loves and treasures him , and it must be wonderful to have a friend always there for her whole life.
I hope all will go well for you both.
