[Turtle rescue]

Hey Donna

Had a turtle handed in today owner found on the beach and kept for a year. It has such horrid shell rot mainly all over its plastron. What do you like using? i have used iodine and debrisol before. She is happy enough and eating. Top shell is good but very green

must send you a photo. Its just groce the plastron like cottage cheese and reeky under the scabby areas. Dry docking her now she is a real escape artist

thanks

[Found a turtle...]

F15GUY do you have a website? cool so you own a shop? is it a petshop?

sarah

[Found a turtle...]

they can travel very far distances even live in estuarys, dams etc. It probably was buried over winter with hibernation and now out in about. As long as its well and eating it needs to be placed in water to eat. Examine it for any cuts etc or swollen eyes. I have had a couple found wandering over the past week from various people that has been handed in

good luck late me know if you need any help

[Found a turtle...]

Hey

Have had a couple lately been found same area one tiny both have swollen eyes shut. $80-$100 later at the vets per turtle for its antibiotic shots, iv fluids and vitamin injections hopefully the tiny one comes right. Still hasnt opened its eyes. Poor things alot of turtles go missing this time of year coming out of hibernation or travelling from ponds to lay eggs etc getting disorientated. Its quite sad i had alot of found turtles last years and you can put them on found on trademe/pets on the net and lodge the found turtle with the spca. Some can be missing for years

There are at least 3 turtle rescues in auckland and lovely Donna in chch that i know of and another just started up in Rotorua. Sadly not alot of vets know about turtles so you have to find a good specialised one

[What can i use to kill algae in a Turtle Pond Outside]

Its a hozelock bioforce uv filter and titan pump. Keeps the water moving when its on

sarah

[What can i use to kill algae in a Turtle Pond Outside]

Yeah thats what i thought. I changed the bulb 3 months ago. Pretty sure i have the right filter its a hozelock bioforce UV. I brought news sponges and uv bulb for it 3 months ago. A friend of mine says a uv light wont kill algae just the spores. I brought the filter as i was told by a few people that the uv light helps to keep the water clean and that it kills algae

thanks

sarah

[What can i use to kill algae in a Turtle Pond Outside]

What can i use thanks? i have a good filter with uv light inside (steriliser). Was just wondering what i can use if anything to get rid of the green? In summertime i could probably empty it weekly (i was last year) but feel this is a bit much

[Infrared Ceramic Heat Emiiters ????]

Hi

Silly question i know. But the heat emitters you can buy on trademe for reptiles ie Listing #: 472521923 are they the same as the Elstein Infrared dull heat emitters? Listing #: 472164766. They look like the same thing just alot cheaper if you buy from an electrical place

thanks
