Re-homing Advice
Posted: 20/04/2015 by Jorose

I would like to re-home a tortoise from the website but just want some general advice regarding houses before I buy one. We have a log cabin shed in which to put it's house whilst it hibernates but need to know what else would need to be acquired before we would be considered.

We have a large grassy garden which is flat with no pond and have no dogs.
Thanks
Jo

Hello,


Tortoises cannot be hibernated in wooden structures. Temperatures are unstable & can fluctuate from too low to too high.

It would be possible to construct a microclimate within the shed, but to satisfy both heating & cooling needs, it would not be cheap.

Regards,
Tom
