What happens when a turtle is taken out of the wild, kept on a kitchen floor and fed cat food? THIS. Meet Rockalina, a sweet eastern box turtle who has been suffering from terrible care for nearly 50 years.
It’s true. In 1977 she was removed from the wild and kept this way, all this time….almost half a century.
Upturned, grossly overgrown nails, an overgrown and deformed beak, washed out color with skin sloughing off and severe necrosis on at least one back leg.
The only reason her shell looks normal is because she was captured as an adult turtle. This means her shell growth was essentially completed already by May of 77 when they found her. She is with us and is receiving veterinary care now.
It’s CRUCIAL for her story to be shared so please do so, as it can help save other turtles by educating the public on what NOT to do.
Link to watch her story is below in the comments. 👇🏻
Update on her coming next Sunday. 🙏🏻
