I am asking this because of another thread with a blind, deformed not eating baby turtle. Just want to know if anyone has an idea of a humane way to put a turtle or even a tortoise to it's permanent sleep, with out the assistance of a veterinarian? I know with fish, the most humane, painless way is to put them in the freezer. Now, don't get me wrong. In most every situation, I would take my animal to a vet. However, in this situation and the cost of exotic vets, and the size of the turtle, I think this is where I would take things into my own hands. However, it still has to be humane. The situation of the little turtle is still new. However, I would hate for the poor thing to just die a slow, painful death from starvation. Would the fish way work for a turtle?
