FOUND A TURTLE? What to do?
First check to see if has been injured or run over.
Keep it safe in a bath or large tub with water at least 3 inches deep.
If
bubbles start coming out of its shell when it is in water remove from the
water, as it may have a hole or crack in it's shell and take it to a vet.
Make sure cats and dogs can't get to where the turtle is.
If
when it is handled it emits a musky smell and seems shy, it is probably
a wild turtle. If it seems friendly, and looks like it is used to people,
it is
probably someones pet, and take a photo, and we can put the details below.
Just send us an email. adam[at]adelaideitour.com.au
Please don't release a pet turtle into a lake or river, as it won't be
able to compete for food or know how to find food and will die.
If
you want to keep it for a period of time in the hope the owner my
come, feed it raw meat with no fat, raw chicken, or raw seafood.
You can also purchase frozen "Turtle Dinner" cubes from most pet shops.
If
you can't keep it, and we can't rehouse it, best thing to do is give to
the RSPCA.

About us:
We have a large pond
where we could keep Turtles that may have been
found, or
where they have out
grown their tanks or aquariums.
U
nfortunatley this pond is now full, so we can't take any more Turtles.
We have had over 35 years experience with Turtles and have taken many
in and given them a good home. We aren't however Vets, so if your
Turtle is sick, please
take it to a Vet and get it proper care.
We use and recommend Glenside Vet Clinic.
Tell us if you also
know a Vet that is good with Turtles.
