Sorry to hear that. You made the right decision though. Did they go to a good home? I recently had to give away one of my dogs, because I moved now I'm renting. She went to a great home. The family that took her e-mails me pics. Could you get e-mailed pics of them?

thats cool those turtles will love that huge pond, id say you made the right decision. I cant even imagine trying to take care of 4 adult turtles, unless i had a huge pond or something, Im having a hard enough time affording a good setup for one

That's awesome that they'll have a pond. Ask him for pics I'm sure he'll understand.

My sympathies...
but life for a turtle in a big pond! WOOOHOOO!!
Like Tokapeli., I can barely afford a good set-up for one. (Plus 3 always-hungry cats)
