  • This turtle was born with an exposed heart. When her dad rescued her, he was so scared she wouldn't make it. But a year and a half later, she's gotten so big and strong!

      Actually turtles with open hearts aren't that rare (it happens once maybe twice but still not very likely) it's just breeders determined that they won't have a safe or comfortable life so they will keep it and see if they can keep it alive or give it a lethal shoot. Also albino turtles aren't that rare there are actually a good number of breeders who breed albino turtles.

      @KoxenBols 3 года назад +41

      @Valerie Soul It could be possible to glue a steel wire or two over the hole so it kinda works like a roll cage, without trapping dirt in there. But it doesn't seem like it's necessary, since the heart is further inside her shell as she's been growing, and the skin also seems to be significantly thicker so yeah, I think she's fine as she is.
      Also, the guy looks like he's in his early 30's, which means if she lives a full life, old age might even take them about the same time, which is kind of the best you can hope for with a pet that you love.

      too, only the first one had trouble walking. Someone knocked him off a step with a rag! A tiny kitten who couldn't walk! I was livid, ran to my mum and we took the baby to the vet who said he needed calcium ampoules. After taking them daily,
      he could walk and then, even run! We were so delighted! My brave little tiger kitty,
      CiCi ("Tschi Tschi). He was my constant companion and I loved him, just I loved
      all my sweet pets. They're all over the rainbow bridge now, but not a day or night
      goes by that I don't miss and love them. I so look forward to seeing them again!
      Best wishes to you, dear fellow animal lover!

      Being albino, as she is, sadly, Albinism comes with a lot of extra defects. When Turtles and tortoises are 'born,' they grow in an egg. My guess is something happened during the development that kept her shell from forming completely over her chest.

      @@meriwilliams1217 go for it lol I do biodiversity talks at schools and it’s the easiest way to describe to young children features and how to identify what kind of habitat they would need to thrive , hopefully it prevents mishaps in the future because there was this young lady’s few years ago on TikTok that made a video of herself finding a tortoise crossing the road where she states “if you find a turtle crossing the road help it” she then threw it into a river ,sadly it wasn’t just a land crawly tortoise it was also a critically endangered species :( there was a follow up video where she was quite upset having found out the turtle was very likely dead because of her intervention . So if remembering swimmy vs land crawly features helps save any future herps I’m all for it =^_^=
