tortoise care & delivery 

By checking the terms and conditions box you are agreeing that you have read and understood the required care and what equipment is needed for your tortoise.

When purchasing a tortoise it is your responsibility to you understand what care is required. Our tortoises are thoroughly checked before they are sent out. If you have any concerns or questions about your tortoise please contact us straight away before seeking advise elsewhere. 

We use High Flyers as our animal courier, they will text or call you the day before your delivery with a time slot. This is your responsibility to provide us with the correct contact number. If you refuse delivery, you do not answer or you are not at your chosen address, the courier will return the tortoise to us and you will be charged delivery. In this case you will be charged £50 for the courier to deliver the tortoise to your chosen address, then you will be charged £50 for the courier to deliver to tortoise back to us.

For tortoise deliveries we will send a care sheet, set up sheet (if needed) and if your tortoise requires an Article 10 Certificate in an envelope with your postcode on it. This will be on top of one of your parcels.
