Can You Help?

 

 

•  Our first experience with Aldabra tortoises began at Chester Zoo in the late 1970’s and early 80’s and it ignited a determined passion to have one of our own. We were wondering if there was anyone out there who had a picture of these Aldabra Giant Tortoises, and knows what happened to them?

 

• We were also wondering what Aldabras you have seen in the wider world, maybe whilst you were on holiday? We are only interested in the big grey Aldabras not brown Sulcata’s. We are always looking for ideas to improve our set up and enrichment for our tortoises and thought we would look at other collections abroad, for further inspiration. So which places would you recommend we contact? Whose animals looked happy and stimulated?

 

• Does anyone Know who holds the European Studbook for Aldabra Giant Tortoises please?- it could come under Aldabrachelys Gigantea or Dipsochelys Dussurriieri. We have tried contacting the European Studbook Foundation, to enquire, but received no response.
• ENQUIRY CLOSED. THANK YOU TO SHELLEY WHO MESSAGED TO SAY THAT PRAGUE ZOO HAS THE EUROPEAN STUDBOOK FOR THE ALDABRA GIANT TORTOISE.
