Re: Can I have a tortoise?
Matchu, if you are serious, may I suggest before you make any decisions, that you do your research and find out all these animal's needs first.
You might find there is more work involved than you thought in suppling what is necessary for their health and wellbeing.
For a start, tortoises would need some sort of enclosure in your garden, plus housing and a variety of food.
The seller also has to be licenced to be legal nowadays too. I am not sure whether you would also need a licence, you would have to find that out.
Then is the facilities for winter hibernation they would need.
Sea monkeys I know nothing about.
Regarding a dog, I did not understand what you meant about ' being large enough to defend against a 25 yr old male?' Sounds like you want some kind of fighting dog!
Have you had dogs before?
Sorry, but I find this a very strange post.
If you are serious, could you explain more please.
