Turtle on B5 in Risum-Lindholm: Police are looking for the owner!

Risum-Lindholm, Deutschland - On Wednesday afternoon there was an unusual encounter on the federal road 5 in Risum-Lindholm, as a police officer discovered a Greek tortoise on the side of the road during their patrol ride. The animals, known for their peaceful and vegetarian lifestyle, need special care and food, which caused the police to act quickly. According to the information from tixio , the turtle was immediately brought to the police station in Niebüll, where it was supplied with fruit and fresh water.

uint of the supervision of Sandra Otte, spokeswoman for the Flensburg police department, it was found that the turtle is doing well. The officials hope that the rightful owner will report promptly to pick up the animal again. If this is not the case, the turtle could be put into the care of an animal shelter. The police suspect that the turtle may have run out of a garden, which made the call to contact us with the rightful owner on 04661/40110.

A look at the Greek tortoise

Greek tortoises are usually vegetarians and have special needs in terms of their diet. According to information from Tierschutzbund you need fiber-rich, low-nutrient food, which ideally consists of wild plants, such as clover, dandelion and various types of herb. These foods are not only tasty for the turtles, but also support their health. It should also be ensured that they have flat water to drink because they cannot drink from deep water bowls.

In order to continue to provide the turtle well, it could be important to ensure a varied diet that also includes leaves of fruit trees and bushes. However, a protein -rich feeding should be avoided because it can lead to health problems. The police in Niebüll initially saved the turtle from the dangers of traffic and is worried about their well -being. It is to be hoped that your owner will soon be found, because the well -being of the animals is also important to the police.

In a region that is very popular in agriculture and garden culture, there is a high probability that the turtle has escaped from a home garden. So if you have a high turtle fence in the area or take care of your animals in a similar way, you should now be particularly attentive and maybe take a look into your own garden.
