rehome

Hello, I have a 10 year old male red footed tortoise I’m looking to re-home if I find a good home. He’s very social and will eat out of your hand with his bad aim. We moved here a few years ago and he just does not like the spaces we can provide. Outside has a lot of predators and too cold at...

Hi, everyone! I'm reaching out on behalf of my family, due to unfortunate recent circumstances, the care of our turtles has become too extensive for us to keep up with. They've been with us since they were hatchlings for the last 13 years and we love them dearly, but they're in need of a new...

Hello, I bought what I thought was a spekes hingeback at a reptile expo, come to find out it’s a bells. I think it’s a female, but I’m not positive. I’ve gotten so much good advice on how to help her thrive and the right and wrong things to do, however she is just not doing well with me. I...

Apologies if this is not the correct forum. I have an adult male Russian Tortoise who I've had for nearly 3 years. He's been a great addition to the family and so much fun. I love him to death but due to unexpected health problems I am looking to rehome him to someone who can give him the care...

Hello, I have a 10 year old male red footed tortoise I’m looking to possibly re-home if I find a good home. He’s very social and will eat out of your hand with his bad aim. We moved here a few years ago and he just does not like the spaces we can provide. Outside has a lot of predators and too...

We have a five year old red footed turtle that we unfortunately can no longer care for. We are looking to rehome him to a good home. His name is Rocco and he is very friendly and social. I am sorry that we cannot continue to care for him. We are in Richmond, Virginia and would be happy to drive...

Hi everyone! I have a Russian tortoise who needs a new home. She currently resides in Connecticut, has a lot of personality, and loves lettuce. She has lived in a 7-foot by 3 foot long tank for quite some time with a substrate that contains half peat and half coconut coir. I would love to rehome...

Hey guys, I am looking to trade my male Russian tortoise for a Hermann or Greek tortoise. I just got my Russian tortoise about two weeks and have an outdoor enclosure for him. However, I recently learned that Russian tortoises do not do well in a subtropical climate because of the high humidity...

Hello! I've recently found myself responsible for a red eared slider when my housemate moved and abandoned him/her. I don't know much about it but I've been reading online to take care of him/her as best as possible. Regardless, I don't really have the time and still feel it needs a better home...

I am looking to rehome my 2.5 year old tortoise named Basil. She is energetic, so entertaining, and loves head scratches. Basil is the perfect tortoise, she has never had any health or appetite issues and in the 2 years I have had her, her shell has grown from 3 inches to 5 inches long. I went...

Hey Tort Team!! New to group and new Tortoise Tender. I had a friend who’s Sulcata had outgrown her back yard. She asked if I would take him and was happy too. I’ve had “Crush” for a week now. He lives in a fairly large fenced area with my two goats. He doesn’t appear he’s eating. I have...

I need to rehome a 10 to 15 year old male gopher tortoise. A friend of mine was moving out of town and the person who was supposed to take him flaked last minute so she asked if I would take him. He had nowhere else to go so I accepted, but he does not get along with any my other tortoises at...

I have a male Russian box and a female Sulcata (we think) that needs rehoming. They were both rescues given to me at different times a few years ago, and I haven't been able to give them the care and dedication they deserve. The Russian is at least 8 or 9 years old; the Sulcata might be less...

I don’t know if these wanted posts ever get any traction but thought I’d try it. I would like to adopt a couple of box turtles, or elongated tortoise, or Russian. I keep red foot tortoises currently, so I am not new to keeping turtles, but would like to expand to other breeds. I’m in Georgia...

Hello everyone, I hope you're all doing well and having a good day. I have had my russian tortoise Sheldon for about 3 years now and I love him with my whole heart and wish more than anything that could continue to care for him. However, due to some recent health issues I unfortunately...

I just found this advertisement for a “free tortoise needing rehoming”. I asked the lady to pull her ad, and to list the little fella(s ?) on this forum and ... I provided her the website and my cell phone. Just in case... I hope she contacts me back and I hope to help guide her to one of the...

Hi there. I’ve had my sweet tortoise for about a year and a half now. I love him so so so much, and I’ve done so much research and tried my very best to care for him the best I can. But lately, he doesn’t seem right. He won’t eat, doesn’t want to even come out of his hide anymore. His eye...

I couple of months ago I had found a tortoise on the side of the road almost getting run over. The tortoise is not native to Maryland or the east coast so I must have been a released pet. I figured she is either a 1.5 - 2 year old Greek or Sulcata Tortoise. She wasn't taken care of well, her...
