We have two Spur-thighs. George, who we think is about 15 and Daisy who is in her 60's. We were given them by OH's parents who had 6 spur thighs, 3 male and 3 female.

Luckily we don't have to separate them in the garden as we think Daisy is George's Mum and he has no interest in mating with her!

Any other tortoise owners out there?

I have a 3 year old horsefield called Harriet, so definately a baby compared to your 2

I have a near 4 year old horsefield, he is so entertaining, we love him so much but also can't wait to see him fully grown!

How hard are they to look after?

They are very cute but I wonder if they are a bit smelly in their cages and things?

We used to have them as kids I LOVE tortoises. They remind me of little pre historic left overs.

I have 2 Herman`s alled Dot and Dash who are brothers and 4 years old, they really are fab pets who live in our garden, and are very amusing

I have a 4 year old Horsefield tort. Lucky he is now asleep in the fridge

They are not hard to keep. You just have to do some research, easy on the net and no they don't smell. Some times they eat there poo
You don't keep torts in cages. Best to do is keep them on a open table.
