Where they come from[]
Turtles are random events that will appear on your island, similar to that of the Kiwi, White Peacock, theseagull and the Lilikoi. You do not actually see the turtle, but you see instead an in game popup that will allow you to post onto your live feed. You do not get to keep the turtle, but you can give it to one of your neighbors.
How to get one[]
Turtles can be obtained from your live feed. To filter out posts from other applications, use this filter here. Keep in mind that if you have blocked Island Paradise from your feed, you will not see any of these posts! You will have to unblock your feed.
To obtain one, be the first person to click the Adopt the Turtle! button in the bottom corner of the post. Having a large quantity of active neighbors will increase chances of obtaining one, although being fast is also important. Some neighbors will notify through status change or the Facebook chat that they are posting a Turtle before posting. Do not lose hope just because a post may be hours old, sometimes no one has claimed it!
Not enough Neighbors[]
If you do not have enough active neighbors playing the game, you can always add other people from the discussion boards. If you have concerns about Facebook privacy, you may wish to read our Adding Neighbors Safely article.
Old System[]
If players did not have enough neighbors to obtain a Turtle, it was possible to ask other players to go to an Adopt a Turtle post, right click on the Adopt link, select 'Copy link address' and paste (ctrl+v) onto the discussion forums for other players to get.
This was changed as of January 8, 2010.
Increase chances of giving out a Turtle[]
The best method of giving out a turtle is to play the game actively. Each time the game saves, whether automatically or manually, you have a chance of getting a pop up. Leaving the game open for hours on a tab in the background with no saving going on will not significantly increase your chances.
Trivia[]
Clicking on your own Turtle will cause it to hiss at you and retreat into its shell.
