Thats very sad, I hope no unscrupulous people manage to get any. So dissapointing for older people who thought they would have a home for life.

I would like to think as these people have been caring for the re-homers for such a long time that they also wouldnt want them to go to any tom, dick or harry surely? Hopefully the lady that contacted you has got the wrong end of the stick with what was going on.

Been there today to pick up Malayan box turtles that are going to the living rainforest, and a couple of north American box turtles too.
Good news, all of their Terrapins, which included seven adult Red eared Sliders and four Cooters, have also been re homed at the Blue reef Aquatic centre in Portsmouth.

tortilicious · 01-09-2011, 06:32 PM
