This group is merely a pilot programme to give
tortoise, terrapin and turtle keepers in Ireland a forum to meet and
discuss how best to come together to exchange advice, information and
experiences on such issues of tortoise keeping as are particular to
Ireland. We need some kind of effective forum/organisation in this country
to bring together committed and dedicated keepers and to spread safe and
tried modern methods of tortoise husbandry among the many who have no more
than 'pet shop' advice on how to care for these marvellous creatures.

Tortoise keeping is a very intresting and rewarding hobby but one which
should not undertaken lightly. Keeping tortoises etc. as pets in their non
native countries requires commitment and hard work, if one is to provide
them with proper care, so that they are healthy and can enjoy a happy
life. If People are thinking of buying or adopting a tortoise read up on
tortoises care to find out whether they will be able to care properly for
such an animal for many years to come (tortoises live for a long time)
