radio tracking a tortoise - HELP!

Every year, Shelly the tortoise gets lost or manages to escape the garden. It can take days to find her. I would like to build a locating device so that I can track her down. The basic requirements are:

a) that the 'transmitter (transponder?) on the tortoise is as small as possible.

b) that it can be made by an electronics numpty. I have basic soldering skills, and can eventually work out a circuit diagram.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Telking Electronics (talkingelectronics.com.au) does kits and also publishes schematics for a number of small transmitters... I think you need to pay to see the schematics.
