Hello,

I am looking for a tortoise (land turtle) breeder in Cyprus. Would you know of any or would you know where I can search for one?

Thank you very much.

there is a lady posting under ANGLO INFO pets who has tortoises to give away and a breeder has responded to her ad, you could try them

Thank you.

I assume you are talking about this:

yes, I would think the lady with 20-30 tortoises would be able to point you in the right direction.
Best of luck!

Hi,

I have not found a tortoise breeder yet. So I am still looking if anyone has any suggestions.

Thanks.

Tortoises are ready and waiting by the dozens here in the North. No doubt imported from Turkey. I gave my 35 yr old Tortoise away to a friend when I moved here 5 years ago, and he is still doing fine. I am always tempted to buy one here when I see them, but it just doesn't seem quite right...........

Over here I have seen tortoises mistaken for terrapins and swimmimg for their life in a restaraunt's pool feature, and likewise a terrapin in a box of sand with land tortoises placed in the waiting area of a private clinic to entertain the children!!! Good luck with your search!!!

A few years ago at 'Carnival' time the children brought home a very small tortoise from one of the many stalls. She was lovely but never seemed to grow: poor thing only survived a couple of years

Thanks for your replies.

I would think there is a tortoise farm in Cyprus, maybe some of you would know?

............You don't say!

Poor thing did grow about half an inch in total, she even hibernated (which I foolishly did not think she would do over here! ). She loved fresh apples and lettuce (yes, cut to tortoise size bites!) and playing in the grass. It was a sad day that June when she 'went'
