I hope they were from a breeder and not a shop
As three weeks quarantine is not enough if brought from a shop

Its just a pity you couldnt buy direct from the breeder, you would know exactly the history.
Its just most breeders dont/wont sell to shops, as firstly they dont usually care for tortoises as well as breeders, and the shops have to make a profit so the breeder would have to sell well under their price they would get from selling privately. Selling privately is usually well below shop prices.
But if your happy thats fine.
