| Need help with a Tortoise Hi there, I am new to this forum, but found an injured toroise in a hay bale last night and I am trying to find a wild life santuary to take care of it. IT seems to be doing well accept for a crack in the shell. I think it is a woodland tortoise, but as I said I have no clue about these guys. I will probably do more harm then good. If you could please point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it. It seem like a fighter and was calling all night last night and seems to be in good weight, but I don't have a clue on that one. Sincerest thanks, Laura |

A crack in its shell is a serious, though treatable, injury. You can call me or call Calvert County Sheriffs Dept ask for the wildlife rehab lady, as you have an injured animal and they will give you my number. In the meantime, keep shell wound covered with a clean, damp piece of cloth. Last edited by Inkpen; 07-08-2008 at 03:18 PM. | |
