TORTOISES SPECIAL WINTER OFFER

We are an exotic friendly practice and invite all tortoise owners to bring their pet for a professional vet check. A fee of £40.00 will give your tortoise a full health check including a feacal sample (bring in on the day) followed by  step by step advice on the dormancy preparation and time.

Many tortoises have a period of dormancy (hibernation). It is essential to hibernate during winter for either breeding or to prolong their life cycle.

Preparing for hibernation is as important please see below:

The leopard tortoise and Indian star tortoise do not need hibernation.

Always see a vet and have your tortoise checked before hibernation.

They need to undergo a starvation period which usually lasts 4 - 5 weeks.

They need regular baths to increase there water intake, which also allows the cleansing of the gastrointestinal tract.  All boxes for hibernation should be well prepared before the tortoise is placed in them.

The tortoise should not be left in the garden if possible due to not waking up. There are foxes and the rain could drown them.

Once the tortoise has woken up they should start eating within 2-10 hours and have passed normal urine. Call to book your appointment with our exotics vet, Agata, on 0208 4607222.

Peak flea and tick season is approaching!

The life cycle of the flea is dependant on environmental conditions. In warm, moist weather, the rate at which this happens increases dramatically. There are fleas inside centrally heated homes, but as the weather warms up your pets will be more likely to come back from outdoor adventures with fleas and even ticks. Parks, fields and forests are likely to be hotbeds for fleas and ticks - so what can we do about the flea?

Your local vet is the best person to provide you with the right products to tackle the problem head on!

Applying the correct product will virtually remove all fleas and ticks from your pet within 24 hours.
