Turtles free to GOOD homes only

[Nitwit]

Various ages and sizes, 5 cumberland sliders and 1 yellow belly slider need to be rehomed to good homes thank know their requirements, will not go to homes that I have not seen photos of set ups they are going to got some small right up to huge adults, need to rehome as quickly as possible as I get new rescue turtles all the time from council when they clear the lakes in our area.

Rom

yes they want to clear it out and your best bet is to call them and ask if they need assistance homing,

ALL GONE yay!!!!

So where did all those turts go to??????

A bit intrigued here. There were dozens of them.
RSPCA dont want them, pet shops dont want them. Cant beleive they were all homed well so quickly.

If the answer is managed euthanasia then that will be an interesting development.

I've seen a few sliders in Roath Park lake, on warm days you can just make them out basking on one of the isolated islands.

For those of us that have a particular interest in these things Roath Park was special because it had the biggest population of released animals in the UK.

It was successful because sliders and cooters are riverine animals and must have good oxygen levels for hibernation. Roath park is fed by a good stream as well as having, it seems other factors that are conducive to good hibernation. Not all ponds are suitable for turtle hibernation.

Its a shame as the animals would not have had any significant impact on local fauna being mostly vegetarian. I cant see the point of their capture for any reasons other than due to misinformation or unwarranted local pressure.
