Hiya, I've just been given two unwanted tortoises but my pup (12 months old now) hasn't had any experience of other pets before.

I've let them settle in for a day and I'd love to be able to let them roam a bit, and I've seen the way Milly 'plays' with small creatures (spiders are a firm favourite!), and I'm concerned she will hurt them.

Has anyone had much experience introducing their Yorkie to a new (small) pet, and how did you achieve a good result? Obviously due to her terrier instincts I would never leave her alone with them unsupervised, but I'd love to be able to let them roam together, without worrying that she will pick one up and fling it across the room or garden!
