After having a stray terrapin brought into the practice I work at we weren't sure who could help us. We came across... South Yorkshire terrapin rescue who have helped with advice and offered a forever space at their rescue. Today our stray terrapin has gone to live at the rescue and we can't thank them enough for giving her a chance to live her life with other terrapins in an amazing environmentread more

I took in one that appeared to have shell rot, they were extremely helpful with treatment, and I got to see her swim... away with her new friends later on 🙂 The set up looks amazing, and all the animals seem really happy.read more

We came to this wonderful rescue today with a female terrapin that had been dumped in Keighley. When we arrived Alex... was waiting for us. We did actually think the terrapin was male lol but Alex showed us the difference between the females and the males (their claws)! The set up for the fish and terrapins is absolutely amazing and I can’t stop thinking how much happier all the terrapins will be here rather than stuck in horrible tanks. I have signed up as a member to watch the video cams and I am addicted. Thanks so much Alex for helping, you really are 1 in a trillion 🐢read more

Was needing advice on a pond set up for my 3 ybs and 2 maps, found these guys and am so glad I did! An hour of... discussion with Alex later and I feel a lot happier about moving forward with my pond planning! Really helpful, full of knowledge, advice and references. But most importantly, all the terrapins (and fish!) in their care are 100% well looked after and living their best lives ❤🐢🐠 Fantastic rescue doing a fantastic job unlike many so called rescues... Highly recommended, keep up the great work guys!read more

I adopted some fish from here through the members page and can not fault the service I received. The fish are wonderful... very well looked after and they are very knowledgeable about the fish. I would adopt from here from now on rather then go to the garden centres hope to adopt some more very very soon. Very very pleased.read more

What a great team, we rang to ask about rehoming our pond fish because,we were wanting to fill our pond in. They came... soon after and very professionally put them into containers to transport them to their very large pond, which is a much better environment for our fish. Very friendly and efficient throughout. Would highly recommend. Also they sent videos of our fish being put into their pond,very thoughtful of them.read more

Friendly and knowledgeable about the turtles and legislation relating to them. My visit was in the evening so did not... see everything, but all the animals I saw looked well cared for, healthy and happy. The Map turtle (Starla) I collected from here was in good health and is continuing to do well in its new home.Will certainly keep in touch and visit in future. Definitely worth contacting if you need help in S Yorkshire area or nearby.read more
