The woman with 22 tortoises

Sarah Jackson spoke to Debbie McGee about how she keeps all of her tortoises happy.

"I use a combi-light, so it has heat and UV.

"They can carry different diseases, some tortoises can get runny nose syndrome so then they have to be kept on their own totally.

"They have to be around 4-5 inches before you can hibernate them.

"The bigger one I've brought today is about four to five years old, I rescued him last year, he got bitten by a dog and then came to me - [his name] is Bob!"
