We had a tortoise for 40 years, he was bought for my sister and remained in our parent's home until they passed away.
My sister lives in Germany and I'm in a flat in London and we couldn't keep him so we got in touch with the Tortoise Society and they found a new home for him in Devon.
Hopefully he's still going strong!
