We have 2 male horsefield tortoises aged 2-3yrs in Southampton. Moe and Shelldon. They have recently started fighting. Their current owner separates them and feels that this is very stressful for them and is worried that they will cause serious injury to each other. Their owner doesn't have the space for another set-up and is happy for them to be re-homed separately. There have been no health problems with either of them. If you are interested in one or both of these, please quote Male horsefields Southampton" when replying to rehoming@tortoise-protection-group.org.uk

Hello,
I have just filled in a rehoming application for Hermans but would also be happy to be considered for a Horsfield if you felt my set up was suitable. I live in Weymouth so would easily be able to collect. I have also emailed.
Kind regards
Jon

Hi Steven,

Here is a guide on how to foster a tortoise from the TPG. Please take time to read all the information. Firstly you will need to submit a registration form which can be downloaded from the TPG website here:
http://www.tortoise-protection-group.org.uk/site/131.asp
If you have any difficulty downloading the form, please drop us a line at rehoming@tortoise-protection-group.org.uk and we will send you a form in e-mail format. All you have to do then is hit reply, fill in the form and send it back to us at rehoming@tortoise-protection-group.org.uk. Please note that registration forms will not be accepted without photos (these can be sent in a separate e-mail), these should document where the tortoise will go to warm up, suitable grazing areas, shed/greenhouses/coldframes etc. This will allow us and the current keeper to make the best match for the tortoise(s), ensuring continuity of care, which is paramount. If you have more than one species, please label the photos so we know which species are kept in what areas.
Once we have received your registration form, we will then upload your details into our database for future reference so you won't have to submit this information again. We would be grateful however if you inform us of any changes to your current circumstances e.g. house move or any changes to accommodation/where the tortoise(s) will spend their time.

Once you have registered, details of tortoises available can be found on:-

If you see a tortoise that you are interested in fostering, you will simply need to make us aware of it by emailing rehoming@tortoise-protection-group.org.uk We will then contact you if we and the current owners think you are a suitable match.
Be aware that not every email is answered as we get so many responses, please don't be put off by this.

I would happily give a good home to 1 of your tortoises. It would be our only pet so would be able to offer all the affection and time needed. I am registered for re-homing and have sent pictures of the surroundings I have to offer along with more detailed information. If you are interested have a look and let me know. Collection would have to be arranged via specialist courier at my experience which I'm happy with. Thank you very much for taking the time to read this.
