Peeperskeeper had good advice. But may I say that many children's interest in their pets wane, only to come back later. If your son has totally lost all desire for animals in general, then yes, he may never regain the desire to keep pets. Find these turtles a loving home. But if he still has some interest, he may yet be a life-long herper, just like so many of us here.
Since he is unhappy about the thought of losing these turtles, I think he is not really ready to give them up, in which case he should be forced to take care of his turtles. How much time does it take to feed the turtles and check up on them a few times a week? It should be his chore and a part of the allowance he gets. Good luck  Tess
