She came with the name "Osbourne", though she gets called "Ozzie" most of the time. She is still in temporary digs until her permanent location is decided. They are illegal here in Oregon, but I run a wildlife rehab so have permits for a few "illegals", which we use in our educational...

That is GREAT news Mark, thank you so much!

Occasionally, some of these windows were opened, so he got a modicum of UV, but no where near what he needed, I'm sure.

The family did check the other tanks. I assume at one time, he would move the turtle from one to another then clean one, but obviously it's been a LONG time!

I just rescued what I believe is a mud turtle from a family who's father had passed. No one even knew he had a turtle in one of these disgusting tanks, so I have no background as to age, what it has been eating (other than algae), how long he had it, etc. The family did take it to an exotic...

Thanks. It depends on the day. That is right outside our Critical Care Center, where I spend much of my day preparing food, giving treatments, taking radiographs, etc., so if I'm training a new bird or working on behavior in a current ambassador, I will put them there so I can interact with...

Sorry Tom, I didn't want to write a huge post, but I realize I wasn't clear. These enclosures are only where he will spend the night. During the day, he has 3 separate, completely fenced areas he can rotate through, depending on the day. Badger Run is on my property and is open to the public...
