If you take in animals as rescues, then you have to be prepared to deal with the commitment that comes along with the rescue. I applaud you for that, but now that they're bigger and difficult to house, you still have that obligation. There's nothing wrong with trying to rehome them with a responsible keeper....but don't use "they might end up in a bad place again" as an excuse to just toss them into a pond somewhere. It's up to YOU to find them a good home if you can't keep them anymore.

That is exactly what I was thinking but everyone keeps saying to release them in the wild. I have no problem holding on to them until finding the right home, just wanted to get everyones thoughts on this. Thanks!
