Hi All,
I currently have a 2 and a half year old Hermann's tortoise who is healthy and doing very well.
Unfortunately, I will have to be away from home for about a month, starting mid-January and
I don't really have anybody to come and look after my tortoise while I'm away so I'm currently looking at different options for tortoise care while I'm away. Taking my tortoise with me is not an option.
I first thought about hibernating my tortoise while I'm away, but I gave up on that thought after doing some research, seeing as that I won't be able to carefully manage the temperature, environment etc while I'm away, and it seemed like too much risk.
So I'm currently thinking of boarding service or sitter service for my tort while I'm away. I'm currently in the Boston area, and after a quick google search, I couldn't find much in regards to those types of service. Does anybody know of reliable tortoise boarding or sitter services in the Boston area (and also not too pricey?). I'll be leaving in about 2 weeks and I'm running out of options. Any other good suggestions for what might be the best option is also welcome.
Thanks so much!
