I need help re-homing 2 turtles and a fish.

If anyone is interested, please let me know. I'm located in Central NJ.

They are a year old (maybe 2). You can have everything that comes with it, tank, filter, stand, food, water treatment, etc.

Hehe...

The pinball Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Premium uses a servo that get's out of alignment and needs to be 're-homed'.

That's what I thought you were talking about!

Trekkie has provided a great environment for these turtles over the past few months. They will be an excellent addition to your home.

I can't help you but that looks like a neat setup. The Turtles have a way to get out of the fish tank and hang out where it's dry. Cool.

It has 2 different lights. Each light has a health benefit for them.

Thank you for the kind words!

I do what I can for any animal. Unfortunately, I was never in the market for turtles. They just got dumped on me.

Will a pet shop take them,I love turtles and live on a lake,these are common painted turtles I believe and I try to save these and snappers I find crossing streets and roads,I just can’t stand the sight of a cracked shell ,

These animals live all year around in lakes and survive in winter,is that an option?

They’re domesticated now. They can’t go back to the wild. They won’t know how to compete for food.

A pet shop will take them and re-home. I’m trying to bypass that step and get them into a loving home.

I did just meet with a Pinsider to show him the turtles.

Will that glass case fit on top of a modern Stern backbox? How well do they react to constantly hearing their people's theme song over and over?

Had a small red eared slider when I was 10 that went missing, my mom found it on side of house 20 years later and insisted I take it home for my kids, I released it into the lake and didn’t tell anyone. Two years later someone seen a turtle on a log and reported it in our community newsletter. It’s probably still alive.

A Corvette is the perfect car for a turtle lover... you can't harm them at any speed-- they just get caught up in the front bumper and go along for the ride.

Pinsider who wanted them fell through. I brought them to a local pet shop who said they’ll probably be re-homed in the next couple days.

That is pretty offal. I guess the one I found isn't so bad. It is nature.

Turtle update: I just spoke to the store where I dropped them off. One of the workers there LOVES turtles. He adopted them.

The 2 little guys live in an outside pond right now with other painted turtles (they are painted turtles). The guy said they are having a blast. Come October, he brings them all in to an inside pond he has set up.

They are in such a better place. I could never do what this guy is doing. I told him how appreciative I am of him for giving those 2 guys a great life.

Good man Trekkie.

People who treat animals with kindness are good people.

Happy to hear you got them what sounds like a super home.

Congrats! Looking forward to hearing the meltdown over giving away the turtles.

And thank you to sataneatscheese…so many great tips and advice on how to take care of the tank, thus, giving the turtles a healthy environment.
