How to Care for your Tortoise

A tortoise is a wonderful pet to have, but like all exotic creatures they have specific needs and some basic requirements that must be met in order to keep them happy and healthy.

If cared for properly a tortoise will have a very long lifespan, with many living to be over 100 years old. This is why, before taking one of these delightful pets into your home, you should consider that it will most likely be a lifelong commitment and they may well outlive you!

When deciding whether or not a tortoise is right for you, you should think about where it will live, what conditions it will need and how much time and attention you will need to provide.
