Hi all,

I'm Dan from the UK! :) I've just signed up today as I'm going to be a new daddy to a Horsfield Tortoise next month! :D

I've ALWAYS wanted a Tort and have been mad on them for as long as I can remember. My aunts had a tortoise that sadly died last year. He was 93. My aunt got him from her great grandad. :)

I'm so excited to get 'Chester' :) and I really can't wait to talk to you all more as time goes on! :D

Hope you're all well! :)

Dan

Afternoon! *tips hat*. Where in the UK are you? We are up in Aberdeenshire. Weather not too bad at moment. This is a great forum to learn and share. LOTS of great minds and ideas. Maybe there could be a thread for all things UK here, like supplies and suchlike. It would be good for us to know where to get stuff over here too.

Prepared to become hopelessly addicted once your tort arrives!!

I think there should be a UK vet list too (unless there is one somewhere else that I've missed...)

I'm very happy to add good UK tortoise vets. We get our info on the vet list from members like YOU, who have good experiences with vets, then tell us about it.

Hi Dan, I am from the UK too. I pick up my first Tort (Greek Spur-Thighed) on Friday.

Would be good if there were a UK section to see where to get the best supplies from. I am also looking for best vet in my area now, just in case something goes wrong in the future!
