Advert Description

Well socialised, friendly and ready to be loved - come with all care advice and fully set up home and ongoing advice if ever needed
I have have 3 young/baby Horsfield tortoises who are ready on Thursday
to go to their new forever homes now. I am taking either deposits to hold until a later date if required . The price is £135 for a tortoise without home and accessories or £185 with tortoise table home, basking bulb, feeding slate, calcium powder, water bowl, ceramic lighting arm and full care sheet.

These babies have been constantly handled, hand fed, stroked and cuddled and they also like head tickles and shell strokes. Ideally I would definitely be wanting their new family's to be in a position to give them this kind of attention, love and care throughout their 50+ Year life and be made part of the family. They are a long term commitment. They are extremely friendly and well socialised and used to being handled. Their home comes fully set up and ready to go and will also come with the offer of continuing ongoing advice and care information should you need it . I will also be giving you a full care sheet with their diet, routine etc
Please think long and hard about taking a tortoise into your home as they live very long lives and are passed down generations in wills etc, know that if your buying with the view to provide your children with a pet that you must be prepared to care for him/her yourself and not them. The care is very easy and straight forward once you have taken the time to read up in the correct places and seek the correct advice. I am accepting deposits to secure these babies for the right people and can keep until a later date if needed, just ask.

Preloved Safety Advice:

  • Important: Before responding to any pet ad, be sure to read our Pet Buying Checklist and download your copy for free.
  • Photos: Photos on ads can be misleading. Sellers may temporarily group animals in confined spaces, purely to get a photo. These images don't represent an animal's natural habitat. Always visit the pet in their current home so you can see their housing for yourself.
  • Research: Always learn everything you can about a species before contacting a seller. This will give you a better idea of what to expect when you go to visit a seller, what questions to ask, and what else you might need to buy.
  • Payments: Always use a safe payment method that offers you some protection, such as PayPal or Credit Card.
  • Reporting Concerns: If you've seen an ad on Preloved the breaches our welfare listing guidelines, you can click on 'Report Advert' just below the ad and we'll investigate your concerns.
