A local charity has issued a plea, after reports of adandoned terrapins being left to die.
The Manx SPCA says the creatures are being left in local ponds 'to die a slow death as non-natives in our Manx environment'
People are now being encouraged to take any of the unwanted animals to Ard Jerkyll, where they'll be housed and rehomed.
If anyone would like to give a Terrapin a new home they can contact the charity on 851 672.
