Dobbies Garden Centre
Posted: 06/09/2012 by hellybelly

Hi

They are selling baby tortises at my local garden centre and naturally I am disgusted.  One has bubbles coming out of his nose which I know is not good.  What can I do?  They are labelled as 'captive bred' which I have just learned from your site is a load of tortoise poo.    Thanks.

He/she/they require veterinary treatment. I would be inclined to contact your local RSPCA Officer. They shouldn't be selling sick tortoises.
Many Thanks for contacting us. Please do let us know how you get on?

Kindest Regards
Darren
