A warning for anyone who's tortoises are still outside, the temperature is dropping over the next couple of nights with chances of a frost, so please make sure you're tortoises are safe.

We have had quite a few people asking if there is a tortoise health check coming up. Unfortunately we will NOT be holding any more tortoise health checks.
If you have any concerns or worries about your tortoise then we suggest that you make an appointment with your local reptile vet to get them checked.
Please pass this information along to any tortoise owners you may know who do not use social media.

We have had quite a few people asking if there is a tortoise health check coming up. Just to clarify, for anyone who may have missed our announcements last year, we will NOT be holding any health checks this year. Please also disregard the information on the Felton Village Hall website as this is incorrect.
If you have any concerns or worries about your tortoise then we suggest that you make an appointment with your local reptile vet to get them checked.
Please pass this information along to any tortoise owners you may know who do not use social media.
