Description
These turtles are new hatchlings. They have shed their “egg tooth,” have begun eating, and acquired their colours. They are now the perfect size for a small indoor turtle set up. Turtles are social animals so we only sell two or more at a time. Each shipment comes with a handout prepared by us that reflects the knowledge accumulated during 50 years of raising, studying and breeding turtles. Follow the instructions and your new pet will stay healthy and entertaining for years to come. We are not allowed to ship turtles to the Auckland area. But we courier turtles out to other areas on most Mondays or Tuesdays so they don’t linger over the week-end in a depot somewhere. Prices are: $50. each for 2-4 turtles plus courier fee from the Far North $40. each for 5-9 turtles plus courier fee $40. each for ten or more and we pay the courier fee

Do you have turtles often? I'm looking to set up an indoor tank / enclosure but still a few months away from being fully set up - could you send me the information sheet via email so I can make sure all my bases are covered? Rachelghayward at Gmail? l*******x (147 • 9:17 am, Sat, 26 Apr )I never know when our supply of turtles will be gone. My best guess is we should have them for at least another month. These turtles are hatchlings and can drown in deeper water if precautions are not taken. For the first two months it's easiest and safest to use a plastic container as shown in the illustration in the ad. That will give you enough time to prepare a more attractive set-up. marklfeldman (53 • Saturday, 26 April 2025 )can we pick between the turtles genders? g*******7 (0 • 3:22 pm, Sun, 27 Apr )These turtles are new born. Without surgery there is no way to sex them for 3-5 years! marklfeldman (53 • Sunday, 27 April 2025 )Hi do you still have some turtles left? s******3 (0 • 5:34 pm, Sun, 27 Apr )Sure do. marklfeldman (53 • Sunday, 27 April 2025 )Do they have feet or fins? As we are wanting them with feet s******3 (0 • 5:43 pm, Sun, 27 Apr )They have feet with tiny claws on each "toe". The hind feet have more webbing between the toes than the front feet. marklfeldman (53 • Sunday, 27 April 2025 )Can you please send more pictures of the feet also please s******3 (0 • 5:49 pm, Sun, 27 Apr )Weather permitting, I'll give it a try tomorrow but they are not too keen on sitting still for portrait photos! marklfeldman (53 • Sunday, 27 April 2025 )We have made payment can you please send us the delivery on this address 32 Roker street, Somerfield, Chch 8024. Thanks s******3 (0 • 9:30 pm, Sun, 27 Apr )Will do. marklfeldman (53 • Sunday, 27 April 2025 )I have a semi outdoor fish pond with some aquatic wood, lilies and other plants. And two goldfish. Can these turtles live in there or do they have to be indoors? s**********d (5 • 11:17 pm, Sun, 27 Apr )All my turtles live outside all year. They don't eat from now until late September. If it's cold they sleep the days away. If there's a warm spell they come out of the water to sun. If you live where it's very cold be sure to break up any ice on their pond. marklfeldman (53 • Sunday, 27 April 2025 )what species are they? g*******7 (0 • 12:51 am, Mon, 28 Apr )red eared sliders marklfeldman (53 • Monday, 28 April 2025 )Hi I try to buy 5 of turtles but the price still $50 each. j***0 (1 • 1:52 am, Tue, 29 Apr )I'm not sure why that is. You could just buy four at $50.00 each so Trademe gets their share and we'll send you five when we courier them out. Next shipping date is Monday, May 5 if you've made payment by Saturday, May 3. marklfeldman (53 • Tuesday, 29 April 2025 )Ship to Wellington which shipping options I can choose? j***0 (1 • 1:55 am, Tue, 29 Apr )Use "North Island south of Auckland". That courier fee is $25.00. marklfeldman (53 • Tuesday, 29 April 2025 )Hi if I make a payment now can you shipping for me today? j***0 (1 • 9:56 am, Tue, 29 Apr )We only ship the turtles out on Mondays to be sure they get to their destination before the next week-end. The next day we'll be shipping will be Monday, May 5. marklfeldman (53 • Tuesday, 29 April 2025 )Dear Sharran3: I have added a photo of a hatchlings foot as requested.
