Thanks for the info. I was picturing some poor kid upset about their lost turtle. Didn't realize they could exist in the City.

Did a little online research and you appear to be correct- I should just put him back.

Thanks!


Your heart is in the right place- thanks for caring about urban wildlife!


OP AGAIN- Turtle has been released back to the wild streets of NW. DD is bummed she won't get to hang the "Found Turtle" signs she made all over the neighborhood

Thanks ladies!!


Did you put him back in the exact same place you found him?

Box turtles are ubiquitous. Make sure you put it back in the direction it was going.

It's probably not someone's turtle. Turtles live in the city. Go put it back where you found it.

Are you sure it's not a wild turtle?

Hi there,

Are you missing your pet turtle? I just found one on Brandywine near 47th street.

I've got him safely contained in a box.

Let me know if he's yours and I'll give you my contact info.

Thanks!
