Recently I heard of a tortoise that was rescued from substandard conditions in petshop and then placed in a mixed specie enclosure. As we all agree this not acceptable but the rescuer was well intentioned. My question is how is good rescue to be setup and run ? I have observed that that most part mainline animal rescues have little or no knowledge of the care of coldbroods in general. How should we proceed with the rescue of these animals and how would you set-up a rescue in areas where there is no interest from the main rescue orgs?
