Turtles are awesome, except when they're biting chunks of skin off your finger.. ya gotta keep on that feeding schedule or the little fuckers will eat anything they can chomp onto. *shudder* Anyway, I have a friend who took in two baby raccoons (I mean like 1 week old) because their mom got hit by a car, and she raised them all the way to adulthood, it was the tits! They used to climb up me and sit on my head, and they were always getting into peoples pockets. She used to hide food around the house to teach them how to forage, and then when they were completely grown, she released them into the huge ass forest outside of her property. A couple months after she released the raccoons, she did the same thing with 2 baby squirrels, one of her cats had.. eaten.. the mommy squirrel. The squirrels weren't as much fun though... they also grew alot faster.
I had a turtle, it's name was Turtle. I kept it in a large tank upstairs, (it was about six inches across the shell) and one day I found him downstairs. There was a small slot in the back of the cover, I guess he got through it, fell, left the room, found the stairs, fell down and of course couldn't climb up, continued down, and wondered around downstairs until I got home. That, or he fell through the slots in the banister and hit the tile downstairs. His shell was cracked on the side, quite superficial, just sort of flaky. I will never know which path he took.... I miss my turtle. The best thing about him was feeding him fishies. And taking him for walks.
