Hi! Introduce yourselves here. :: New with 4 rescued babies

[lamazanec]

Hi all, I just rescued 4 babies from a toilet death. I was interviewing at a vets office when an angry mom came in wanting to dispose of her son's turtles. So needless to say I am not prepared for them at all. From what I can gather two of them are turquoise or pastel red eared sliders and two are hypo yellow bellied sliders. They are about the size of a half dollar. I have grown up with turtles all of my life, just didn't have any up until 2 hours ago.

Never had ones so tiny before either! I'm looking forward to asking my many questions over the life of these little guys.

Cheers!
Logan

Welcome to the forum!! Wow! Talk about jumping in head first. It was a very wonderful thing for you to do.
My gal was an unexpected addition to the home, so I understand feeling a bit overwhelmed. I don't know much about little guys and gals, but there are plenty of people on here that do. The General Care Discussion is where you will find a lot of answers. Of course, the main site has tons of Info as well.

I would hate my mom if she tried to make me throw my baby turtles down a toilet, but luckily for me my mom is an animal lover and is strongly against any sort of cruelty towards animals, welcome to the forums! I am pretty new here as well.
