Just in time for the beginning of the holiday, our two turtles have moved into their new and larger enclosure. The two feel very well there and curiously explore their new empire.

Since the fencing is not very high, we ask our visitors to stay on the trails and not to enter the enclosure, as well as the animals only to watch and not to pet! Our turtles are fed appropriately and balanced, so we ask that you do not feed the animals and also bring any food or other things brought into the enclosure!

Our red-turtles, who currently inhabit a third-floor terrarium, will move into an open enclosure in the Butterfly Flight Hall. This is still under construction and will be ready soon. At the moment we are still working on a shelter. We will report as soon as the turtles have moved.
