my question is, are there any? My daughter wants to buy a baby tort but has only been able to get information about pet shops, not breeders. If anyone can advise it would be much appreciated.

Thre are far more breeders in the South of England than in the North so should now be a problem. You do not say what species you are looking for but bear in mind that most responsible breeders hibernate their torts over winter so you may not be able to get one until spring, except a poor little thing in a pet shop that has been dug out for the pet trade

My own torts are slowing down for hibernation and will be out again in spring.
