We am looking to rehome our female Russian tortoise. She is about 10 years old. Our children got her when they were young and now that they are older and flying the nest soon, we want to rehome her to someone who can provide her a loving home. She would come with her large, indoor tank and heat...
Hi everyone,
This is hard for me to ask, so please be kind. I have 2 sulcatas, 1 male, 1 female that I'm thinking of rehoming. I just went through a divorce and I'm getting my life together as a single mom. I'm realizing I don't have the capacity to take care of the tortoises the way they...
Unfortunately, due to my living situation changing and not having the time to care for him anymore, I am looking to rehome my 7 year old male Horsfield tortoise. I took him into my care 6 years ago as a rescue. He wasn't well looked after in his home before me so I did my best to research and...
Hello -
I am looking to rehome a nearly four-year-old male Russian Tortoise named Anderson Sheldrake. I don't think my living situation allows me to meet his needs as much as I would like. Its imperative to me that he goes to a loving home that will be able to give him lots of love and space...
Im so sad to be rehoming my beautiful Western Hermann tortoise Greta. She’s the absolute loveliest pet and I adore her, but I worry I can’t give her the space she needs.
She is 2 years old andp loves to roam, climb, snooze and eat. She’s low maintenance but is much more active when there’s...
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...
