Related: About this forumWe are rehoming our Russian tortoise and I am sad.
We bought it seven years ago as a birthday present for our granddaughter, but it's always lived at our house. She is 15 now, and lost interest in Shelly years ago.
Petsmart is going to take him back, and find him a new home. Maybe he will get to meet more of his own kind! I'm happy for him, but I will miss the daily routine of feeding him and fixing his lights and all. I'll be glad to reclaim the space in my dining room.

I had no idea turtles hiss, honestly!
Guessing he doesn't like being picked up?
Get him a companion?
