not sure what to do

nikki81 · 09-12-2011, 10:31 PM

ive got 4 turtles (3 of them are in the re homing section ) ive had to split up because of fighting and ripping 1/2 of my res foot off

if i dont find homes for them what are my options as ive no space to setup more tanks plus the torts need a bigger home in the new year

You could always ask a rescue to take them on?

Or maybe even your local zoo?

Suggest you contact your local RSPCA they may have access to a sanctuary.

Replied on your other thread - I have put them in the Rehoming section of RFUK saying that I will pass details of anyone interested onto you.

Hopefully, there might be someone who can help. I put the location as Manchester - hope that is ok.

Fantastic thanks !

The sea life centre in Rhyl has a large turtle habitat near the entrance, they might take them for you? And there's the welsh mountain zoo in Colwyn bay? And reptile rescue den in I think Bolton (they have a Facebook page)

You could even try rehoming them on RFUK

Oops just seen About the reptile forums lol

Hopefully I will be forwarding you details (by pm) later with an email address of someone in Manchester who is very keen to rehome the Map. They are a user on RFUK.
