Look After Your Tortoise!

If you are the owner of a tortoise in the South of England then the current advice is to keep them locked up after a number of the shell covered reptiles where stolen from gardens across Dartford, Kent.
3 spur-thighed tortoises vanished on June 17 and then last week a rare African leopard tortoise also disappeared.
‘Mini-Me’ - Melissa Wheeler’s tortoise was stolen on Wednesday. She said: “My daughter Emily, who is four, is absolutely devastated that he’s been taken.”
With tortoises costing upwards of £100 it is certainly a very valuable member of the family and should be treated as such.
