Hi Janine, Just a little note to thank you for organising that for me at such short notice yesterday. The little tortoise arrived safe and warm this morning to a very happy and surprised girlfriend. The little tortoise is now asleep on the sofa with Lauren all cosy and warm. Thanks for all your help. Best, Max

The cutest thing EVER arrived on Tuesday 17th Dec 2013 at 12:10. He was so shy at first but 3 days later he is showing of his funny little personality climbing up things, and having his first poo in his water! He is the smallest cutest thing ever and couldn't ask for anything better. The deluxe table I bought was also amazing quality, and all the lights are good quality, with the basking bulb only 40 watts and the UV/UVA bulb only 27 Watts so its not too much energy! The table quality build is excellent and is one of the best built things I have seen in a long time, and it comes ready built, with the who set up ready within 5 minutes which is excellent when all you want to do is spend time with your tortoise! My marginated is a He until he is old enough to find out for sure, however the bow on his shell makes me think he will be a girl!!

I received my horsefeild this morning was a bit worried about the journey but he was as bright as a button when I opened him up, he had a nice soak in the bath, he's had a good chomp and he's settled in well! We've called him ted, he's a quick little begger but can't fault the tortoise shop at all thanks guys for a lovely healthy chap! Cath

She is so outgoing and inquisitive, I've recommended The Tortoise Shop.Com to a few friends who are now thinking of getting one because they've met ours!!! Cannot wait for the warm weather the get her out basking in the sun!!!

Just a little note to say a HUGE thank you for our little Bob. We purchased the Horsfield package with a request that it be delivered Friday 12th April, the day of my sons birthday. The package arrived before 9am, with a soundly sleeping, well packaged Bob inside. Needless to say this is "THE BEST BIRTHDAY EVER". Bob is eating well already (even took some food from our hands!!), had a run round the house and had a little nap. We are delighted with everything. Thank you once again lynne
Angela ,
Just a note to thank you for such a fast delivery. I only ordered yesterday and received my goods this morning! Thanks again.

My son has been after a tortoise for sometime. He saved all his Christmas, birthday and "jobs" money only spending the odd few pounds to buy a book on tortoises. It was just after his 12th birthday when he announced that he had enough money to buy a tortoise and the set up needed. We didn't agree straight away, I needed to do some research too! To be honest, I wasn't sure about buying a tortoise online, but after reading reviews and talking to The Tortoise Shop (who were very friendly and full of advice ) it helped me to make my decision. I placed the order online for our Horsfield Package Deal 2 on Good Friday, we got a phone call on the Tuesday to arrange delivery, and "Bruce" arrived on Wednesday morning all safely sleeping in his little box. We are all so very pleased with him, he is very entertaining to watch, and my son has been outstanding with him; I knew he would be :)

My new addition, Bullet, has just arrived. A 50th birthday present form my partner. I have wanted a tortoise for 40 years and this wee guy is everything I had hoped he would be. The service is second to none. I got the horsfield super saver deal and it comes with everything you need to get started. I placed a second order for the uva lamp the day after and asked for it to be added - no problem everything arrived in the one box, on time and with no problems. Dont be fooled by the "Super Saver Deal" heading - they are top quality products, the table is very substantial and well built, the leaflet is very informative for "newbies" like me. Bullet is happily basking, the only thing missing from the order was a pair of sunglasses for him!!!

Herbert our little marinated torti Just a little note to say thankyou for our little herbi,He is lovely and facinating to watch,Hopefully we will be able to get him a little friend later on in the year.
Hatim Noorbhai, Reading
A quick note to thank you for my lovely new Horsefield Tortoise. He arrived on time, and was very alert and active! He's had a bath, and is now settled in to his new home - he is even chomping on watercress by hand! People are quick to complain, but never quick to compliment - the customer service has been excellent! Thanks very much, Hatim
Catherine Wylie ,
HI I recently spoke to Janine re my Horsefield as I was concerned that he was not eating. I have been following Janine's advice and I am very pleased to say that now a few days a week 'Humphrey' chomps into something tasty and seems to be back on track in that way. He has however developed an eye problem. There is no discharge or swelling noticeable he just seems reluctant to open it, although it opens very slightly when he has been up and walking about for a while. Just wondered if this is anything to be concerned about. Also please can i ask another two questions: do you know of any vets expert in tortoise care - we have an excellent vet for our other animals but he does not appear to know about tortoises - we live in LIncolnshire - or, is there a local list of vets with this expertise we can access. secondly - have you ever thought of providing workshops on tortoise care. There is so much conflicting information around and so many questions to be asked and I would certainly find a half day or even full day workshop very valuable, as I am sure others would. Just a thought! Many thanks Catherine Wylie [signed up for advice service last month]
Trudy Urquart ,
Just wanted to say a massive thank you to all the staff at The Tortoise Shop for the excellent customer service. After finding my baby Tunisian tortoise dead the other week and calling them in a distressed state the staff were very helpful and offered loads of sympathy. Also because I had my tortoise less than a year they replaced her within a week. Pebbles will never be replaced but having Twinkle has made it a little easier. Thanks again The Tortoise Shop u r amazing :-))) xx
Daisy-may ,

Our little pipsy arrived this morning not seeming distressed in any way from his trip. He is sooooooo cute and looks right at us, already clearly tame and confident. He's had a little bath, explored his new home, has some watercress and is now basking under his lamp :) Thank you so much! My daughter loves him.

We got a lovely marginated tortoise off you and it is lovely it is growing nicely its still tiny as it was only born july. But it follows its friends around and will now eat out of your hand.
Duncan Hanning and family ,
T. Horsefield (Sherman) arrived on 28th April 2011 for my surprise birthday present. Already it's the family's favourite. It's very determined and fearless. Now lets us handle it without flinching or fussing. Enthusiastically devours dandelion, plantain, chicory, clover, lettuce and vetch (when I can find it!). Sulks however on fasting days. Has the (supervised) run of our conservatory and if it ever gets warm enough it'll go out into the garden. Can't wait till it's old enough to determine if it's a boy or a girl. (I'm betting on a girl, because of the flat plastron and wee tail?) Well done TTS our little hero is a credit to you.

We have now had Bertie and Lilly for 24 days they are adorable and so funny. They have all ready given us hours of entertainment. Thank you so much my Daughter and Granddaughter are over the moon.

I had to buy a new fridge to hibernate my Horsfield this year. I splashed out on a pharmaceutical fridge. Expensive yes, but the other cheap one only lasted for two seasons. It's compact,quiet and keeps the temperature dead steady. Brilliant
Bill Greece,
