1. We bought the large tortoise table for our four month old tortoise, which was delivered to York, extremely cheaply and efficiently. We couldn’t be happier with the quality and size and it fits our room perfectly. We also look forward to ordering the outside run for the summer months.

   Very many thanks also for all your phone assistance, prior to our purchase.

14. I wanted to let you know how delighted we are with our tortoise table. Much thought and crafting has gone into the design and my Horsefield, Herbie has become much more animated and eating well since he has come inside now the temperatures are dropping. I am going to paint the outside of mine in a vintage colour. Do not hesitate to buy a table from this site the construction and design is first class!

17. I have just received model 362 for my 9 month old Russian tortoise. I ordered it on Sunday 13th July and received it via courier on Wednesday 16th July, so extremely fast postage! After searching numerous reptile stores for a table I couldn’t find a good quality one for the money. Most we’re charging £80 for a small size table made from cheap materials. I’m extremely pleased with my table, it’s very well made and the perfect size for her. They are so well made, I would highly recommend! Great seller, would definitely use again.

18. We received out beautiful table and two tortoises last week. Sam and Frodo are doing fine and settling in well.
    Ken was fantastic answering all our initial questions before purchase!
    Rang Ellie today with a long list of questions that I’d been saving up all week and she gave me great advise and lots of helpful information.
    Fantastic service before and after purchase.
    Thank you very much! Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to buy a tortoise and/or tortoise table.

20. Hi Ken,

    The tortoise and the beautiful box arrived safely last night – a day earlier than planned! I’m so pleased with the box, its really well made, thank you. and the grumpy little fella is even tinier than I imagined!

    I’d also like to compliment the delivery service – the communication, delivery time and service when he got here was exceptional, its a great service, keep using it.

    Thanks again!

Thanks for answering all of our questions Ken it just shows that you care about the quality of your tables, the tortoises welfare and customer satisfaction. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing a table, tortoise and general guidance. Thanks again, Lauren, Toohie, Twitch and Treacle

23. Hi just wanted to say thank you and how happy we are with our new arrival Yoshi. The service you provided was excellent, the tortoise table quality build is outstanding. Would recommend you to anyone.

    • Ken has been the most pleasant person despite our constant bombardment of emails worrying and contemplating. But for what reason?, non at all. The tortoise table came on time and perfectly packaged to the highest of standards. And upon opening, we were astounded on how well built the table was. Very sturdy. Very beautiful and off very high quality. Our new horsefield baby bowser is now in the perfect place to call home. I Would surely recommend them both if you are looking to buy a beautiful table. Many thanks again guys and keep up the good work. The tortoise world needs you.

We went to Ken and Ellie specifically because of the feedback on hear and they were just as lovely as everyone had said. They have a lovely home which we were invited into, we were made very welcome and there was no rush or urgency, they let my kids have all the time they needed to select their new pets. You can tell the tortoises are loved and well cared for and they sent us off with the equipment needed plenty of advice and the offer of being on the other end of the phone should we need anything. You really cannot ask anymore from them, excellent service, I will recommend them to anyone wanting a tortoise or table. Thank you very muvh, my kids are over the moon. The tortoises are very tame and friendly thanks to being handled regularly. Thanks Ken and Ellie, all the best to u and your family x

30. Hi ken

    Wanted to leave a message on your website.

    Received my beautiful tortoise table just in time for my birthday. I am thrilled with it. It is so well made. My husband has just set it up for me and I cannot wait to settle our 2 year old spur thighed ‘marokin’ in it. My sister, in France, now wants one! Many thanks again Ken.

31. I would strongly recommend purchasing from Ken and Ellie. I was nervous as this was my first tortoise experience but Ken and Ellie put me at ease and were there for anything I wanted to ask. The tortoise table is perfect. It’s great quality and very attractive. Turbo arrived nearly a week ago now. He has settled in very well after his long journey and I couldn’t imagine life without him. I would also recommend the courier service. I was able to track Turbo throughout his journey which added to the excitement of him arriving. All in all I cannot fault anything or even suggest any improvements. Very very happy customer, thank you.

32. Thank you so much for koko’s new home she’s settled in well and loving all the extra room! Ordered a 299 in a slightly different size, was not a problem received prompt responses to all emails and table arrived soon after ordering. Excellent quality at a fantastic price!

34. Excellent service – Fantastic workmanship – friendly communications – quality in the detail. Look no further best about. ps – Vince absolutely loves it.

35. Purchased an 4′ * 2′ tortoise table from you and am just posting to say how delighted we are with it. It is extremely well designed and made. We had one previously from another well known tortoise site and can say yours is superior in quality and also cost less. Thank you.

36. Thanks for the lovely tortoise table my tortoise Eddie is getting used to it much more room for him and very well made thanks for the prompt delivery as well

37. We spent a lot of time working out the best solution for our hatchlings and a table came out far ahead. Ken’s tables stood out from the crowd for their quality and price alongside a lovely design. It arrived very quickly, was well packed and we opted for the optional accessory pack which was very good value. All in all, a great product at a great price

38. Very well made tortoise table, arrived quickly. Buzz and Buddie very happy in new home. Linda and Louise.

39. Thank you so much for our fantastic tortoise table, its been made perfectly and the service I received from Ken and Ellie was excellent. I definitely recommend happytortoisehabitats and will be using them again in the future. Thank you again!

40. I telephoned and spoke to Ken about purchasing a couple of tortoises from Him. We also purchased a home with starter kit. I must say Ken was so helpful. The prices they charge are really reasonable. One happy Daughter she can’t wait.

41. After much research on the best home for our new tortoise I decided on a tortoise table. Ken was very helpful and suggested which table might be best for my requirements. The table was delivered quickly. Its lovely and our tortoise is very happy in it. Thanks very much!

42. Thank you so much for our brilliant tortoise table! Our 10 year old Hermann tortoise, George absolutely loves it!! He has been eating more and seems so much livelier and happier (he hated the vivarium – now gone), I would recommend all tortoise lovers to ditch their vivariums and buy one of these professionally made toroise tables, thanks again for excellent service!! :)

43. Picked up a tortoise and table yesterday and made very welcome , table is built to very high standard brilliant quality , we are very happy with with our new tortoise tilli and she is enjoying her new home .

    I received my table on Friday and I was extremely please, the finish is first class. I was surprised at the quality to be honest. All edges smoothed, everything fitting perfectly and packed safely.
    Looks great too so there is no reason not to have it in full view.
    Thanks John

45. After contacting Ken via email and getting a swift reply I had the opportunity to pick up our tortoise from his home. Elliee and Ken was very welcoming into their lovely home and i was able to pick the little fella. The table itself is sturdy and well crafted and very spacious for my little guy. The tortoise has been handled regularly and so is use to it and isn’t shy. I was so pleased with the service and would recommend to friends and family. Being invited to phone if i have any problems is very reassuring being a newbie.

    Thanks Ken and Elliee

46. Thank You Ken,
    I bought a tortoise box, and Ken altered it to accommodate my hermanns,They love the freedom they now have,and because there are eight inches, wide was able to go to bed normally, They have walked the full length of, the box, and seem very happy.

48. I am so glad I found this site; been looking for a new tortoise table for ages – table arrived on time and is exactly as pictured/described – quality is excellent as is the craftsmanship. Very unusual to find such a well made item nowadays for such a reasonable price – would recommend without hesitation (as would the torties who absolutely love their new home !)

49. Have we have just received the new house for George out little Horsefield
    tortoise. The house is really really well made. the service is excellent.
    We can definitely recommend buying from Ken, it’s a First class service/tortoise house and price, especially as we wanted a specific size that was not advertised on the website. But it’s perfect. George loves his posh new home. Thankyou. As mc Arthur said ‘I shall return’ to buy from this web site in future

50. We bought two tortoise and a table. We could not believe how good the table was it is fantastic.
    The two tortoises have settled in great and the kids love them,

    Ken and his wife are very polite friendly and welcoming, they provided us with lots of information and help to get us started, they also so told us to give them a call if we needed any further information.

    We would recommend Happy tortoise to anyone who is interested

51. I collected my tortoise and table at the weekend and I couldn’t be happier with them. The tortoise is a superb wee guy, really lively and absolutely lovely. He went exploring in his new home in no time! The table is beautifully crafted and feels built to last. Thank you for being so welcoming and for your advice on caring for Valentino. Elliee and Ken deserve a 5 star rating. Thanks again, Helen, x

52. Great quality and value for money. Highly recommended :)

53. Just settling my new tortoise into her nice new home which arrived this morning. Thanks for sorting in it out so quickly I’m very pleased with it.

54. I have just received my new deluxe model 253, 4 foot by 2 foot, for our tortoise. The tortoise table is lovely: a nice, large hide/sleeping room, then a ‘patio’ area, and steps down to a big ‘living’ area with the basking lamp above. It’s really well built and looks fantastic. The tort has only just come out of his hibernation, so he’s still a bit groggy and still getting used to his new home, but he seems to like it already, especially his hide. I would highly recommend one of Ken’s tables! Thanks, Ken!

55. This is a really big thankyou to Ken, i messed him about on delivery to which he had no problems with, the table was delivered as he said, and i can only say it is beyond my expectations, if anyone has any questions do not hesitate to call him, he is helpful beyond belief, this is a person who really is passionate at what he makes as you can tell by the quality of the table, hopefully going up to hull in the next couple of weeks to purchase another table and tortoise, thanks again Ken.

56. Love our tortoise and love our table- thank you Ken & Elliee. I e got today you are the most helpful people I have ever dealt with-a really lovely couple with all you need to know about tortoises.

57. Fantastic service, Thank you for all your help and advise too!! Fast delivery and superb quality and beautifully made! I would def recommend to anyone who wants to give their tortie a happy spacious home :)

58. Got my tortoise and tortoise table yesterday, really nice owners, answered all questions i asked from the first phone call to picking up my tortoise and tortoise table, made me feel welcome in their home. Table is excellent quality. Would recommend this site to anyone!! Will deffo buy any future tables from here. Thanks to both of you :-)

59. I bought my beloved Bruce, an 8 year old Horsefield Tortoise, almost a year ago. On the advice of the pet shop owner, I bought a large vivarium to house him. Big mistake.

    One day not so long ago I noticed that Bruce had a runny nose. Having read up on tortoise illnesses I knew that this was potentially a symptom of hypothermia. Bruce had to to have two bouts of injections . I was advised by the vet to get a large tortoise table as housing tortoises in vivariums is a cause of respiratory infections.

    Having looked at a number of websites, I am so glad I bought one from Ken . The price of the table was extremely reasonable and was very well made. I contacted Ken on two occasions about appropriate heating and lighting to use and he was very helpful on both occasions.

    Thank you so much for Bruce’s lovely home.

60. Fantastic! Table came today as Ken said. Thank you so much for all your advice and help. Even being in Spain did not stop you!!! We are so looking forward to our new family edition and I know that if I have any further questions I can contact you back. Many many thanks!!!

61. Excellent table everyone that see’s it is very impressed makes for a very happy tortoise!!

62. Thank you so much to Ken for making my daughter’s Christmas by making sure that the most wonderful tortoise house was delivered to us ready to be opened on Christmas morning.

    I was so impressed with the excellent level of customer service I received. Ken is incredibly knowledgeable, and was happy to talk through all of the various options available, to ensure I bought the house that would best suit our needs – which turned out to be a cheaper version than I would have bought if I hadn’t called and taken advantage of Ken’s expertise!

    I found the website easy to use, and delivery was prompt. Our tortoise is now very happy in his new home, and we all send our thanks.

63. ordered tortoise table. it arrived 2 days before date i was given :-) absolutely delighted with it!!! its well made and perfect for our ‘TED’. we got ted after a man came to give me a quote for my hedge and mentioned he had a tortoise he didnt know how to look after and being a soft touch i ended up with it!

72. We asked for a custom made table with specific measurements and they got it exactly right, all within short notice. Ken and Ellie were very accomodating and their communications whilst making it were top class. I was held up at work and so it was the evening before I arrived in Hull but I was still made to feel very welcome. We would recommend one of these tables to anyone who is thinking of getting one – they are good value for money and very well made.
