He needs to be released back into the ocean, preferably in a place that is a known turtle beach.
He will probably die anyway, but certainly will if you keep him.
Animals are not toys or objects of interest to be shown off to people.
We must keep animals responsibly and do research to ensure they have a happy, content and long life.
Sea turtles should probably not be kept at all, certainly not as pets on a whim.
When I rescued my Tidgy, the first thing i did, on the way home that night, was stop off at a Cyber cafe and research, research, research. (First time i found TFO, though i didn't join then).
Golly! :mad:
Can you please tell me or us the story how you found Tidgy and how you rescued her ?

I read about them too. They are last of their species I think. Its called something name with C I forgot. I read it.
Oh no. This specie is not in danger of extinction. My ones are captivity breed. Sulcatas are easy to breed in captivity and make good pets when you have enough space for them to live.

Hey! [emoji4]
Thanks
Yes you are right. They are illegal here too. But I think they sell them in black or I dont know how they get those. May be from Hawksbay (a beach here) where thousand of sea turtles come and lay eggs. May be they get these from their and supply them. Here even for tortoise license needed but due to non implementation of law people keep tortoises, sea turtles, snakes, and other animals, reptiles etc.

But now a days I heard wild life members are active. As they know about people selling turtles, tortoises they fine them and even sometimes jail custody for selling them.

If I have a vet of turtles available here, I will surely go to him for check up of my little sea turtle if he would say he is fine and good I will release him at sea side so he would enjoy his independent life. I am so sad when I sea those little hatchlings moving towards sea from land where they hatched to live their own independent life and people get them and the one who should live in sea, ocean is kept in a very small glass tank.[emoji22]
@Raqib Farid
When your turtle is from Hawksbay you have a Green sea turtle
Please read this:

http://www.wildlifeofpakistan.com/ReptilesofPakistan/greenseaturtle.htm

They eat seagras and seaweeds. That`s why she wants no meat.
Please relaese your baby turtle as soon as possible back into the ocean.
You need no VET check before. If the baby is sick it will die and not infect other turtles. When he is healthy he can live the life that he was born to.

Amd you need lots of space. Where's that photo someone posted of a sulcata bulldozing an internal wall?!

Glad to hear you will be about more Laura. We British residents haven't been doing our bit in the CDR recently! I am guilty too :)

I had a small bird (common parakeet) as a child. We let it fly in the house once or twice a day. One day it escaped from the cage when a window was open and flew away. It broke my heart because instinctively I knew it would die outside in a climate that wasn’t native to it. I ran after the stupid thing, begging it to come back. Of course, it didn’t. Been hating birds ever since. :(
I've had several budgies! I REALLY enjoy them and typically let them fly around the house a bit.
When I was a child we let our budgie fly around the house. it used to like landing on my mother's head and plucking out hairs, one by one! It wouldn't do this to any else- just Mom!!!! She wouldn't tolerate it much...can't imagine why!;)

One day it was one of our birthdays, and the cake was all decorated and sitting in the center of the dining room table. The budgie was out flying around, and when I went to put him in his cage, he had some sort of odd blue stuff on his toes. It wiped off easily but I couldn't figure out what it was. When we saw the birdie footprints through the icing on the birthday cake, we knew!!! :D (We ate the cake anyway, of course.)
