I need urgent help!

I had both my year old turtles in my backyard in their baby pool all fine and dandy. I had to go out and run errands and left in a rush and forgot to put them in their tank again. When I came back 1hr 30min later one of them was was gone!! Only one turtle was in the baby pool.

I have no clue if a cat took him or if he was able to jump out. I searched all over the backyard and have had no luck! Any help please??

There are lots of threads here about "lost" turtles and the measures to find them. Search and ye shall learn.

Try putting out some of his favorite food. Tuna is a good option cause of its strong smell. Also some water.
If your neighborhood is known for stray cats/dogs it might of been possible for one of them to take your turtle but wouldn't you think they would take both?
Also a hawk/vulture might of took him if there is allot of them around where you live.
Good luck home you find him
keep us updated!

Look in all places he could possibly be hiding in---around shrubs, in flowerbeds, near the foundation of the house, etc.

Keep looking, even in places that might seem too small. If you can, block off areas you have searched and even setup a camera to capture any movement.

Don't forget, turtles like to dig to cool off under the soil too.

It's been quite a while, how has your search progressed?
