Exotics Vets In The Uk

   As you will probably know, we have mentioned it several times on the website, many tortoises are a specialist breed, Aldabras and Sulcata’s in particular, and as such when they are ill or injured they require the attention of an exotics vet to help their recovery.

   Please note that the details below, of UK Exotics Vets, were taken from the Tortoise Table website (www.thetortoisetable.org.uk) and are not Vets that Aldabra Giant Tortoises UK have used or have knowledge of. We just thought they might prove useful to other tortoise keepers.

   The practices listed below have been recommended to the Tortoise Table Website, by tortoise keepers.  When booking an appointment, always ask if the practice has a vet who specialises in reptiles or exotics, as vets do move to different practices.

   Also, if you have a large Aldabra or Sulcata it is probably best to check what the access to the building is like- are there any steps etc,  and if they have the space to see a large animal in their consulting rooms- will it fit through their doorway! It would be especially important to ask about their facilities, if you think that your poorly tortoise will require hospitalisation with them. You need to know the practice has the facilities to take care of them, not all practices do, a lot of them are just set up for the  hospitalisation of dogs, cats and furries.
