Hi,

You are recommending a shop that in its care sheets advises that this should be fed to them " Feed beets, spinach, cabbage, and/or kale in small amounts. Supplement leafy diet with (squash, sprouts, and zucchini). 10-15% of diet may include fruits"

If this is their advise on how to feed, god knows where they get these poor torts.

I don't think antone in there right mind should buy from this place!!

I know you were trying to help, but remember when it comes to the internet, any [removed this unproven statement] can have a professional looking site made!

There should be laws in place in this day and age, that target internet sellers, which protects the buyers!!

Like i said before i know you were trying to help, i'm not getting at you, just very mad that this type of place still exsists!!

They are not even sure of the species name spelling and the guy in the shop apparently is not sure which of his torts are UK captive bred or where they came from Sarah. As they have Indian Stars I could hazard a guess so that particular breeder has gone down in my estimation too Unfortunate surname LOL
Anyone who can breed tortoises and willingly sell them to an outlet such as this is a disgrace to the animal world.

Can you offer an alternative supplier in the location requested, if you do not agree with the one suggested, Sue/Sarah????

the breeder who sells to them is one of your'e recommended ones who also quotes the tt website this is very naughty and nasty wizzamum to write that, this breeder sells to encourage petshop to sell more uk captive bred.....tut tut i thought it had been realised by now that there is no need for nastyness like this
