Horsefield’s tortoises are a popular choice for beginners.They can withstand the cold better than many other species of tortoise and this makes them a very a smart choice in Northern climates.They are a small tortoise (4-10 inches long) and require only modest amounts of space and food. The females are usually slightly larger than the males. A distinctive characteristic of the Horsefield tortoise is that they have four toes on each foot and bumps at the back of the thighs on the hind legs.Unlike some species of tortoise, the Horsefield tortoise is a strict herbivore. Never ever give your tortoise meat. They should subsist on a diet of leafy greens and grasses. The bulk of your tortoises diet will come from vegetables and leafy plants. Tortoises kept outdoors will graze naturally on any patch of grass, finding dandelions and various weeds to nibble on. Take note of what they like to eat in your lawn and feed them that. Favourite foods are dandelions, flowers, timothy hay, stinging nettle, mulberry leaves, plantain (the weed, not the fruit), rose petals and leaves and green vegetables like cucumber and lettuce.These are Tiny Baby Tortoises and there around 6 Months old.Selling One Tortoise for £60.Collection from Colindale NW9 5HQ Nearest underground Station is Colindale on the Northern Line Call me anytime on 07719207954 077192079...(click to reveal full phone)
