Good on you for helping the little one out.
In our area, this past spring, it was orange kittens. Stripped, not stripped, but all some type of orange. In my barn. Some went to the Human society and we kept 2. One for a barn cat and one in the house. Neighbor stole the barn cat, he seems to be living high on the hog as an indoor outdoor kitty. Our indoor is a monster, who's favorite pastime is tackling the dog.
I'm not afraid of anything that Byrd listed, except spiders, unlike your baby turtles, they do not listen. I have promised over and over not to kill them, if they would just stay outside. Yet once a week I find a new one, in a corner, making itself at home. Unfortunately, it does not end well for the spider.
I do not scream like a girl, (that I am) unless they are the big hairy wolf spiders. Then it is more of a loud "make a sailor blush" cuss fest until it is dealt with.
I really hate this time of year, with the bug invasion.
ORANGE KITTIES!!!!!
Just found out they have a FB reputation for being, ahem, s-l-o-w. Some hilarious reels altho while I'm not convinced, ours yrs ago decided to continuously pick on a screech owl. (vet bills not amusing)
I garden as well an Toads are relentless. Move them to weed, they hop right back. Totally territorial. Wolf Spiders as well. Gave up an depending on what refuses to move I have to get a bucket with lid to get work done & put them back. Only spider mercy in house are the black jumping spiders & wolf spiders. Clear plastic cup from Taco Bell & thin hard piece of plastic them it's "go have a nice life" outside. You know, unless I just ignore them cause I'm lazy.
Visiting Daughter screaming is priceless. A friend of mine opened her front door an found a cow on her porch. Not her's. It completely puts things into perspective. My "critter escapades" are amateur hour.
