I've been contacted by the lady who took the turtle. She told me the vets performed surgery on the her and they assumed she was bitten by a dog.
She's now in recovery and she will soon be able to join other turtles, and make friends.
She couldn't send me pictures of her, but she showed me where...
Yes, I was planning on doing that.
I just hope they will post something in the following weeks because one of the volunteers told me that they can't offer me info on the turtle because they only deal with receiving animals and taking them to the foundation. So I have to wait and see.
Well I'm really happy to announce that 'she' made it to the wildlife foundation a few hours ago.
It's been a very stressful day for me and for her but now everything is going to be OK.
She's in good hands and soon they will post photos or videos of her on their Facebook page.
They are very...
I just woke up and went to check on him.
He was making a breathing noise, like a purring/snoring I dont know how to describe it.
I filled a small plate with water and put a spinach leaf inside and he had some spinach during the night.
Maybe he got some water in his lungs when he got into the...
UPDATE: I contacted the wildlife foundation and they said they're gonna try to find a volunteer that lives near me, because I am not able to take the turtle to them.
A vet will contact me in a few hours to give me some tips and maybe talk about the injuries on the shell; I will ask about the...
His legs work, he's quite a climber actually...he tried to escape a few times. His little nails are so cute!
I left him outside, it's midnight here and I'm afraid to go outside alone... He'll probably be alright in the morning, it's pretty warm now...
Unfortunately I can't keep him forever, I...
So it's OK to keep it outside? At night the temperature its around 57-60F.
I found some worms in my garden and put them inside.
Also, I am going to look for that cream.
I found a foundation that can help with rehabilitation and I am going to call them tomorrow.
It's so sad that it's a near...
Thanks for the reply!
I've noticed that it prefers to stay on the rock or on land, inside the cardboard house. The water I used is from our well, because I read that tap water isn't good for them.
I put some carrot slices, some salad leaves and some dried worms in the "enclosure", but I don't...
Hello everyone!
My mother found this turtle in the middle of the road. Without knowing what to do, she brought it home.
As you can see, the shell looks pretty damaged.
I live in Eastern Europe, in a rural area, and we've never seen them casually walking around...
I don't have much knowledge...
