Landschildkröten (herpespositiv)

Male

We are Arthur & Nero … a Fourteenlands Turtle (Arthur) and a Maurische Turtle (Nero). We are both herpes-positive and therefore seek our spots with other fellow animals who are also herpes-positive or alone. Land turtles need a secure outdoor enclosure with a wind- and weather-protected shelter in their new home. In winter, we sleep at a temperature of around five degrees Celsius and need an overwintering place. A basement, a cool room, or even the refrigerator is best suited for this. We live in the wild as solitary individuals. A pairing usually only works with one male and several females. Handling land turtles requires some experience, but our animal caretakers will of course advise you and give tips on care and feeding upon request. On the menu of land turtles are mainly grasses, hay, and herbs, but fruit and vegetables are also enjoyed. Maize, bananas, strawberries, tomatoes, and cabbage vegetables should not be regularly fed. Would you like to give one of us or both of us a wonderful home? Simply contact us via the request form below or reach out to our animal caretakers directly by phone or email.

Wir sind Arthur & Nero … eine Vierzehenlandschildkröte (Arthur) und eine Maurische Landschildkröte (Nero). Wir sind beide herpespositiv und suchen deshalb jeweils unsere Plätzchen bei ebenfalls positiv getesten Artgenossen oder allein. Landschildkröten brauchen in ihrem neuen Heim ein aus- und einbruchsicheres Freilandgehege mit wind- und wettergeschütztem Unterschlupf. Im Winter schlafen wir bei einer Temperatur von ca. fünf Grad Celsius und brauchen einen Überwinterungsplatz. Bestens geeignet sind dafür der Keller, ein Kühlraum oder auch der Kühlschrank. Wir leben in freier Wildbahn als Einzelgänger. Eine Vergesellschaftung funktioniert daher meist nur mit einem Männchen und mehreren Weibchen. Der Umgang mit Landschildkröten bedarf einiger Erfahrung, aber meine Tierpfleger:innen beraten dich natürlich gern und geben auf Wunsch Tipps zur Pflege und Ernährung. Auf dem Speiseplan von Landschildkröten stehen hauptsächlich Gräser, Heu und Kräuter, aber auch Obst und Gemüse werden gern gefressen. Mais, Bananen, Erdbeeren, Tomaten und Kohlgemüse sollten nicht regelmäßig gefüttert werden. Möchtest du mir einem von uns oder uns beiden ein tolles Zuhause schenken? Melde dich einfach über das Anfrageformular unten oder kontaktiere unsere Tierpfleger:innen direkt unter oder E-Mail .

About Landschildkröten (herpespositiv)

What life with Landschildkröten (herpespositiv) looks like

Landschildkröten (herpespositiv) is a small adult animal waiting at Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg in Berlin.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Landschildkröten (herpespositiv) far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

Note from the shelter: Herpes positive - requires placement with other herpes positive tortoises or alone. Needs secure outdoor enclosure with weather protection and proper winter hibernation setup at 5°C.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

Frequently asked

Adopting Landschildkröten (herpespositiv), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Landschildkröten (herpespositiv)?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Landschildkröten (herpespositiv) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Landschildkröten (herpespositiv) if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Landschildkröten (herpespositiv) already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most animals on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Landschildkröten (herpespositiv) isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Landschildkröten (herpespositiv) and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
