Ditto.. If every anybody has probs with re-homing the wife runs a sanctuary for reptiles and the like... we live in this sanctuary, but would not be without any of them.

They are such a tie when you want to go anywhere though I must agree.

The cats not too much of a problem, he goes in a cattery but he see's his ar*e for a few days when we get home, but what can you do with the torts.

[Elite Pete]

Let us know if you decide (get permission) to get rid  

What of, the Omega, cat or torts

[Jimbob]

Torts, I could perhaps be tempted, would need to research whats involved first though.

You wouldn't believe the amount of hassle they are

hmm maybe not then

Im picturing abandon em in the garden with a bit of lettuce like the torts of my childhood, guessing I am a bit behind the times

Thats what I thought when we got them, big mistake

[LJay]

I was getting my hopes up then, that torts were about to move in!  

[psychnurse]

You could go when they are in their 5 months hibernation... not much hassle then  

[Richie London]

very surprised about torts, thought they would be a doddle to keep, i'll stick to tropical fish, just have to keep an eye on the sharks though,

apperently according to the Mrs... 95% are kept wrong leading to premature death. The minimum lifespan of any CB sp in the UK should be 80! My liver will be well gone by then!

I thought keeping fish was relatively cheap until you get tropical... then it soons gets through more money than you think.

You do have to watch the sharks though - although 1 of mine died on Saturday  

So do you just put the Torts in a cupboard during the hibernation?

No they remain in a vivarium as they still need uv light, acces to water and a controlled temp.
