Rehoming Our Sweet Greek Tortoise - Looking for an Experienced, Knowledgeable Owner (Ticehurst, East Sussex, TN5)

We are looking to find a new, caring home for a female Greek tortoise (Testudo graeca) that unexpectedly came into our lives. She was a surprise gift from a younger relative who found her on a night out. While we've done our best to care for her, we feel it would be best for her to go to someone with the knowledge and experience needed to ensure she receives the proper care for her species.

Based on her size and appearance, we estimate she is around 6 months old, though it's hard to say for sure. We believe she's less than a year old. She has been housed in a vivarium, which we've equipped with a heat lamp, UV light, coco substrate, a water dish, rocks, logs, and some fake plants to create a naturalistic environment. Everything included!

Greek tortoises have specific care needs to thrive, especially while young. Their habitat should maintain controlled humidity levels (around 40-60%), as too much moisture can lead to respiratory issues, and too little can cause dehydration. A heat lamp and UV light are essential to mimic the warm, sunny environments they require for proper digestion and shell development. Greek tortoises should also be kept in a solitary habitat, as they generally prefer to be alone rather than in groups. In the wild, they hibernate during the colder months, so any future owner should be prepared for her to potentially hibernate when she reaches the appropriate age.

We want her to go to someone who is well-versed in these care requirements and can offer her the stable, healthy environment she needs for her long-term wellbeing. Tortoises have very specific dietary and environmental needs, including a diet primarily of leafy greens and the right balance of calcium, and we want to ensure she is in the hands of someone who understands this.

If you are knowledgeable about Greek tortoises or have experience with tortoises in general and are looking to offer a loving, responsible home, please reach out to us. We want her to go to a home where she will receive the proper attention, care, and understanding she deserves.

We are based in Ticehurst, East Sussex, TN5, and are happy to provide the full setup, including the vivarium, to someone who can provide the right environment for her to grow and flourish.

Please only inquire if you are confident in your ability to care for a Greek tortoise, as her health and happiness are our top priority. Thank you for considering giving her a new home.
