Quarks

Unknown · Young · 1 year

I am Quarks, a Chinese three-keeled turtle. My gender and age are unknown, as I was found, but I am still quite young. I weigh just over 60 grams. I hope for... a great spot in an aquarium with dimensions of at least 120 x 50 x 50 cm, as well as a land area. Since I am still young, my aquarium must practically "grow with me." If you would like to give me a nice spot, please contact me via the inquiry form below or by phone at the Exotenhaus (daily 13-16 hours).

Ich bin Quarks … eine Chinesische Dreikielschildkröte. Mein Geschlecht und Alter unbekannt, denn ich wurde gefunden – ich bin aber noch recht jung. Ich wiege etwas über 60 Gramm. Ich wünsche mir … ein tolles Plätzchen in einem Aquarium mit mindestens den Maßen 120 x 50 x 50 cm sowie Landanteil. Da ich noch jung bin, muss mein Aquarium quasi “mitwachsen”. Wenn du mir ein feines Plätzchen schenken möchtest, melde dich gern über das Anfrageformular unten oder telefonisch im Exotenhaus unter (tgl 13-16 Uhr).

About Quarks

What life with Quarks looks like

Quarks is a young adult animal waiting at Tierheim Berlin in Berlin.

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

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

Paperwork, vet checks and transport rules differ by species and by country. Ask the shelter what is included and what you will need to arrange before you commit.

Frequently asked

Adopting Quarks, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Quarks?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Berlin handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Quarks on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Quarks 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 Berlin what paperwork and transport they require, and check the import rules of your country before you commit.
Is Quarks 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 Berlin directly what is included and what Quarks still needs.
What happens if Quarks 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 early rather than rehoming privately; they know Quarks 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.
