Plitsch-Platsch

Mixed Breed · Male

The male Cumberland ornate box turtle "Plitsch-Platsch" is looking for a home as a solitary prince. He is a formerly found animal. During a routine examination, unfortunately, a disease-causing germ in his intestines was detected. This bacterium does not bother "Plitsch-Platsch" much, but it could cause illness in fellow animals. Therefore, he is seeking a place for himself and people who will take him as he is, with all his quirks.

Die männliche Cumberland-Schmuckschildkröte "Plitsch-Platsch" sucht ein Zuhause als Einzel-Prinz. Bei ihm handelt es sich um ein ehemaliges Fundtier. Bei einer Routine-Untersuchung wurde leider ein Krankheitskeim im Darm festgestellt. Dieses Bakterium stört „Plitsch-Platsch“ nicht weiter, doch es könnte bei Artgenossen zu einer Erkrankung kommen. Daher sucht er ein Plätzchen für sich allein und Menschen, die den eigensinnigen Herren so nehmen, wie er ist.

About Plitsch-Platsch

What life with Plitsch-Platsch looks like

Plitsch-Platsch is a small adult mixed breed animal waiting at Tierheim Wiesbaden in Wiesbaden.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Plitsch-Platsch 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: Must live alone due to intestinal bacteria that could infect other turtles of same species

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

Frequently asked

Adopting Plitsch-Platsch, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Plitsch-Platsch?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Wiesbaden handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Plitsch-Platsch on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Plitsch-Platsch if I live in another country?: Sometimes. Whether a animal can move between countries depends on the species and the rules in both countries, and some species need permits or have restrictions. Ask Tierheim Wiesbaden what paperwork and transport they require, and check the import rules of your country before you commit.
Is Plitsch-Platsch already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: What a animal comes with (vet checks, vaccinations, identification, paperwork) varies by shelter and species. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask Tierheim Wiesbaden directly what is included and what Plitsch-Platsch still needs.
What happens if Plitsch-Platsch 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 Wiesbaden early rather than rehoming privately; they know Plitsch-Platsch 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.
