    I am looking for 2 box turtles? In Dublin, young ones, male and female if possible.

    I have read that they are easy pets to care off... It's for my kids but I guess that I will need to help taking care of them.

    If anyone know a shop or someone who has some for sale... Thanks to give me the details...

    They haven't got any and they don't know when they will be able to import any... Would someone know another place?

    Actually Russian tortoise or horsefield tortoise would be even better...

    Thanks, they told me that they can have some within a week. So I will probably go for that.

    Thanks... I am looking for 2 of them. Carlow still slightly too far for a return trip the same day. I prefer wait a week, unless someone knows where I can find some this weekend in Dublin and surrounding counties...
