Rehoming Tortoises
2023
Our sanctuary enclosures are currently full,
so we can't take in any new tortoises this year.
All our sanctuary Tortoises have on-going medical problems and will be rehabilitating here under Dr Emily's care for at least all of 2023. If any of our Torts have a good hibernation 2023-24 then they may become available for fostering in May 2024.
Fit & healthy Tortoises are often looking for new homes at the National Centre for Reptiles in Tonbridge:
Welcome to Orlestone Farm!
Orlestone is a secret haven - a sanctuary in the Kent countryside for tortoises in need of some TLC and a new life.
The farm is also the perfect place for your tortoise to stay whilst you go on holiday & hibernate under veterinary care.
Our vet Dr Emily runs educational seminars for owners & fellow veterinary professionals, along side research projects into the health of tortoises
