Never a favorite time of year around here with having to haul all of those that can't winter outside to the inside and hunker down those that can winter outside into their outdoor accomodations. Always a nerve wracking time of year worrying ... http://turtlerescues.com/blog/?p=40 www.OneTrueMedia.com http://turtlerescues.com/blog/?p=22 Long Island Newsday ran an article today about turtles.

Unfortunately the online version doesn't show any pictures but I'll try to scan it and post ... http://turtlerescues.com/blog/?p=20 As usual I have good intentions of keeping up with the blog but never seem to get around to it.

All the turtles and tortoises are now outside full time, except for the rehabs and my tiny Leopard torts. They come in at night. It's so nice to see everyone sunning themselves and getting ... http://turtlerescues.com/blog/?p=11 I sort of missed updating for the month of March, so will try to cover all I can remember. It sure did pick up with rescues and adoptions coming in. I had a total of eight Sulcata here at once which is our new record for the most at one ... http://turtlerescues.com/blog/?p=9 We've certainly got a full house here now. One little Painted turtle was adopted out, but many other turtles and torts came in. Some we are still looking for homes for. Some are ill and receiving care to get them in shape for adoption. The two smaller Sulcata that came ... http://turtlerescues.com/blog/?p=7 Usually this time of year is slow, but last month I took in three Sulcata tortoises.
