Welcome to Manuel’s Guide to Humans
If you’ve arrived here because you met me on Facebook, TikTok, Instagram or YouTube…
Welcome. I’m Manuel.
A rather handsome, impeccably shelled, spur-thighed tortoise…
…and, if I may say so myself, a perfect gentleman. I’ve spent years quietly watching humans.
Some of you are absolutely brilliant. Some of you…Well…
Let’s just say you’ve given me plenty to write about.
After all that observation, I’ve reached one very simple conclusion…
Humans don’t need another tortoise guide.
Or another care sheet.
Or another infographic.
Or another Facebook group arguing about tomatoes.
Humans simply need Manuel training.
So welcome to Manuel’s Guide to Humans.
This is where I’ll make you smile, help you understand your tortoise a little better and, with any luck, save you from a few of those wonderfully human mistakes.
Now then…
Shall we begin your training?

Sue Lloyd, UK
Debbie provided exceptional care for our tortoise, Broccoli, during her three-week holiday in Maidenhead, September 2024. The facilities Debbie provides are exceptional, which coupled with her expert knowledge and husbandry standards left us in no doubt that our tortoise would receive the very highest care during her stay. We would have no hesitation in recommending The Tortoise Hotel to tortoise owners going on vacation.

The Tortoise Hotel is a wonderful idea and a wonderful place. Our Big Geoff has been hibernating and having holiday stays with Debbie for years now and I would never consider sending him anywhere else. The enclosures are well designed with lots of space to roam and shelter. Lots of fresh weeds every day but most valuable of all is feeling secure in the knowledge that Big Geoff is well cared for and watched over by somebody whose knowledge of tortoises and their needs is second to none! Quite simply the Tortoise Hotel is first class.

The best place to take your tortoise while you are on holiday. Debbie is incredibly knowledgeable and the service she provides is incredible. Our 6 year old Hermann Tortoise Nasha has been there quite a few times. The hotel provides correct care for your Tortoise and makes sure you know you have given your Tortoise to someone who can be trusted. Nasha is part of our family, not just a pet. She means everything to all of us. When Tortoise Hotel is given Nasha, it is reassuring that she is being given to someone who genuinely loves tortoises as much as we do. Thanks Debbie.
