Schmuckschildkröten

Unknown · Adult · 4 years

At the animal shelter, there are currently various Schmuckschildkröten looking for a new, species-appropriate home. The following species are represented here: Florida Redbelly Ornate Box Turtle (Pseudemys nelsoni) – Female, Mississippi Mud Turtle (Graptemys pseudogeographica kohnii) – Male and Female, Ouachita Mud Turtle (Graptemys ouachitensis ouachitensis) – Male, False Map Turtle (Graptemys pseudogeographica pseudogeographica) – Currently no specimen; inquiries are welcome. These are water or swamp turtles and have some conditions for their new home. They need a large pond that should be at least 1.5 meters deep. Like land turtles, water turtles prefer to live alone or with one to two fellow animals. They are not picky about their food. They eat turtle pellets, like crayfish, and sometimes a bit of minnows, but also enjoy some vegetables to nibble on. When the days get colder, they retreat to a winter quarters and hibernate at four to six degrees Celsius. A basement, a cool room, or a refrigerator is best suited for this. Staying in the pond over winter is too risky. Do you have a large pond and space for one or two of our armored companions? Please visit our Exotic House or contact the animal caretakers at 030 / 76 888 161 or by email. Our caretakers will be happy to advise you and, upon request, give tips on husbandry, care, and feeding.

Im Tierheim leben zur Zeit diverse Schmuckschildkröten, die ein neues, artgerechtes Zuhause suchen. Folgende Arten sind bei uns vertreten: Florida-Rotbauchschmuckschildkröte(Pseudemys nelsoni) – Weibchen Mississippi-Höckerschildkröte (Graptemys pseudogeographica kohnii) – Männchen und Weibchen Ouachita-Höckerschildkröte (Graptemys ouachitensis ouachitensis) – Männchen Falsche Landkartenschildkröte (Graptemys pseudogeographica pseudogeographica) – aktuell kein Exemplar; Nachfragen gerne unter Schmuckschildkröten gehören zu den Wasser- bzw. Sumpfschildkröten. Sie stellen an ihr neues Heim einige Bedingungen. Sie brauchen einen großen Teich, der mindestens 1,50 Meter tief sein sollte. Wie auch Landschildkröten leben Wasserschildkröten am liebsten für sich allein oder mit ein bis zwei weiteren Artgenossen zusammen. Beim Futter sind sie nicht wählerisch. Sie fressen Pellets für Wasserschildkröten, mögen Garnelen, Bachflohkrebse und ab und zu mal einen Stint, aber durchaus auch mal Gemüse zum Knabbern Werden die Tage kühler, ziehen sie sich in ein Winterquartier zurück und verschlafen die kalte Jahreszeit bei vier bis sechs Grad Celsius. Bestens dafür geeignet sind der Keller, eine Kühlkammer oder der Kühlschrank. Eine Überwinterung im Teich ist zu riskant. Haben Sie einen großen Teich und Platz für ein oder zwei unserer gepanzerten Gefährten? Bitte besuchen Sie unser Exotenhaus oder kontaktieren Sie die Tierpfleger unter der Rufnummer 030 / 76 888 161 bzw. per Email an . Unsere Pfleger beraten Sie gern und geben auf Wunsch Tipps zur Haltung, Pflege und Ernährung.

About Schmuckschildkröten

What life with Schmuckschildkröten looks like

Schmuckschildkröten is a large adult animal waiting at Tierheim Berlin in Berlin.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Schmuckschildkröten 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

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Schmuckschildkröten, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Schmuckschildkröten?
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 Schmuckschildkröten on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Schmuckschildkröten if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Berlin 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 Schmuckschildkröten 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 Schmuckschildkröten 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 Schmuckschildkröten 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.
