Feedback from previous customers 

"I bought my tortoises from Chris at Turbo Tortoises because I was adamant I didn’t want to buy from a pet shop as those I did see in three shops seems very lethargic and the staff didn’t seem to know much about them. Ideally I wanted to speak to the person who reared and sold them.

One company actually offered to send me a tortoise in the post which horrified me and I cannot believe any one would risk such a thing so I researched a bit and finally found Turbo Tortoises. Chris was extremely patient as I was a complete novice (and he didn’t seem in the least bit surprised when I popped along to meet him, holding a list of about one hundred questions!) It is obvious he really cares about these little creatures and even today I know I can still call or email him anytime for advice and help and it is very reassuring to have this as back up.

I have never had any problems with either of my tortoises and Chris supplied all the correct CITES paperwork plus additional help sheets and advice on vitamins and supplements which I found very useful. I cannot recommend Chris and Turbo Tortoises enough and in my opinion, if you are considering having a tortoise as a pet then you have found the perfect place. Buying from Chris meant I could see for myself just how healthy they were, plus I had a chance to see fantastic animal husbandry first hand and got all the help and advice I needed "

"Hi Chris,
 All is well with the babies. They have settled in and according to our weather we are in for a nice weekend so they can go outside in a pen for a couple of hours tomorrow. Please thank Catherine for the smoothness of the handover and arrangement times it all goes towards your good customer service of which I am very impressed. I would and will recommend you as your personal enthusiasm and thoughtfulness shows through."

"Hi Chris.
I'm not sure if you remember everyone who buys from you, but we met you at Wooley Edge services in September. We bought 2 babies from you and we are really happy with them(Iris and Ivy). They are doing really well but we wanted to check with you that their weight gain is ok. Ivy has grown from 38g to 62g and Iris has gone from 38g to 82g. "

"What a great website! My sister-in-law, Sarah Wheatley from Barcombe, bought a couple Hermann's tortoises from you a couple of year's ago. We think it was the Testudo hermanni hermanni ones. We are looking to buy two ourselves for our youngest daughter as a Christmas present and wondered whether you had any in stock? Thanks in anticipation."

The girls are fine, eating a little not letting them out today or yesterday as the weather is very damp. Thank you for all your time on Friday, we learnt so much and mum was over the moon, not stopped telling everyone since. We have stopped the shop brought hard food and thrown that out, Brian ate his first tomato yesterday lol."
