Every calendar purchased helps directly support the animals in our care, with all profits going straight back into our HQ to fund food, heating, veterinary care, and enclosure upkeep.

If you’d like a practical way to support tortoise welfare while enjoying a year of tortoise favourites, this is a lovely way to help.

Winter sleep in motion, 4 week fast with a gradual reduction in heat and light but regular baths... a classy final evening cooling off in the downstairs loo before the fridge beckoned.

See you in March (10 weeks) my wonderful dinosaurs 🦕

Wishing all our followers a wonderful festive season 😊

Busy doing the last weigh-in here before hibernation commences, following a 4 week fasting period.

Very true. Come the Spring we will also be ramping up rehoming again at tortoiseclub.org, and there are so so so many needing homes.

Our annual fundraising calendars are now in stock for £10 each - they make a great quality Xmas gift that supports a wonderful cause 🐢

Each month features a tortoise healthcare tip or story, and many of the pictures have been submitted by our followers featuring rehomed tortoises from the club.

Every penny raised from the sale of these calendars goes towards our Tortoise Hospital; and ongoing operational costs (our electricity bill isn't the smallest!).

Very many thanks in advance for your purchase 👍 😀

From Jenny - LOST TORTOISE

Our much loved family tortoise Bobbie has gone missing from our garden on Merlin Drive. He has been part of our lives for over 40 years and we are heartbroken that he has disappeared.

If you live nearby, please take a moment to check your garden, look under bushes, behind sheds, in piles of leaves or under decking. He could be looking for somewhere to hibernate for the winter.

There is also a small chance he has already tucked himself away underground and may appear in someone’s garden come spring, so please keep this post in mind and stay alert then too.

Please comment below if you think you may have seen him or help spread the word.

Thank you so much for caring – it means everything to his family.

This is what makes it all worthwhile. Rehoming at its finest 👌

If you'd like to rehome please use this winter to read up on care and start prepping your garden, we are here to offer full support 😀

A really good quality calendar with all proceeds to the tortoise hospital 🐢👏

Great fun yesterday- saw a beautiful variety of tortoises, trimmed many beaks, hopefully helped improve the care and welfare of many family pets 😀
