Donna and Turtle Rescue in Chch will be on TV1 news tonight!!! At the end of the TV1 news will be a segment about a turtle that has been found by its owners 11mths after going missing. TV1 phoned me and came here and did some filming for the piece. Then they took me to meet the family and to check over the turtle. Lovely family and 2 very big female turtles. Turtle is currently here in an antibiotic bath and the family will collect it in a few days. So keep an eye out for me (and maybe Milo the dog) and a turtle or 10 tonight at end of TV1 news (Sorry the catch-up visit was cut short by a TV crew Karzncats :facepalm: ) Random!

We will be watching :thup:

As long as it doesn't make us cry again - like the Animal Rescue segment :facepalm:

Will it be the six o clock news Donna?

It will be I am sure.

It will be I am sure.

Thank you

coming up in 22 minutes

I didn't see it

The tank seemed a bit small for 2 adult RES. But it was nice how the turtle came back, 11 months is a long time

They fooled us! Put it on in the main news hour and not at end like they said it would be.... I only just caught it as rushed home in tea break. On video....if I got the tape in on time....so you can catch it (very short) when you're here

Yes Squirt, WAY too small for one female...but especially small for 2! They are already going to visit me and sort out the possibility of a pond in their garden as have 2 females.

Saw it , nice to see you Donna, have been following the stories of the survivors that you post, this is really good news, an awesome outcome. :bounce:

I will hope it is on TV on demand somewhere.
