But my critters are box turtles, the easiest pets I ever had. The weather is so mild in CA, that they roam the backyard almost all year round. I just bring them in at night because of the racoon family that lives nearby. No turtle snacks for them.

Not everyone would have bothered to try to help the turtle. I have two very fluffy cats with very big personalities.

I hadn't realized you did wildlife rehab work, Anya. So did I, in Oregon. Very interesting and rewarding, though sometimes sad. It's amazing the kinds of things humans will do to a creature. Glad there are folks like you to balance that!

He's only about 1 1/2 inches and he's adorable! We can't keep hin, though, because he's a snapping turtle. He may be cute now but he'll be trying to take our fingers off before we know it! Too bad! We are all pet lovers, too, but we aren't allowed to have pets where we're living right now. So, my daughter has a hamster. Buddy is small and black and he's a sweetheart! I figure hamsters aren't really pets - they don't mke noise or tear up the house - so we can get away with it! Rhonda :-) My husband found a tiny turtle at Lake Erie last week.

So, my daughter has a hamster. Buddy is small and black and he’s a sweetheart! I figure hamsters aren’t really pets – they don’t mke noise or tear up the house – so we can get away with it!

That's amazing - great pictures too. Glad that turtle will probably recover. Do you have a name for him/her/it? Something gallant and heroic for surviving the "help" ordeal. :) Either way, sounds like you had an incredible morning. Wow! That’s amazing – great pictures too.
