Slider turtles, Lona and Gracie and little Zing!

As promised, I will explain how two turtles arrived here at Life Long Tails. Our Vet, Seneca Animal Hospital called us with an urgent request. An elderly woman made an appointment to have her two red eared slider turtles euthAnized, only because she couldn't care for them anymore. These 2 turtles are healthy and there wasn't any need to sentence them to death. Even though none of the vets there would have gone through with the procedure to euthanize two healthy turtles, after I let them know I had room to take them in, they called back the woman and she agreed to drop them off at the clinic and have me take them instead. One is a large male red eared slider turtle, he is the biggest male I have ever seen! I weighed him on a human scale and he is 3 pounds! He needs a nail trim and his shell has some pyramiding going on, this is usually from poor diet and lack of calcium and UVA and UVB. It can happen to any turtle or tortoise. Then there is a smaller female painted turtle her shell is in great shape, but her toes have injuries, may have been bitten at by the male. They both have a vet appointment with Dr.T tomorrow, he'll clip the males nails for me and he'll evaluate the females toes. I'll also hopefully gather up a fecal sample to make sure they don't have intestinal parasites. They now have an enclosure with a built in water tub complete with underwater heater and filter and a large UV basking bulb. We may need to adopt them out separately if it is the male that has damaged the female. The male will need a home that can accommodate his size, and continue with a good diet and UV lighting. The pyramiding will not go down, but it can stop progression.
Over the weekend, the two girlie guinea pigs, Lona and Gracie went home :) Their new Mom, Molly, loves guinea pigs and all animals. Our cat MotorMan loved her too, he jumped on her back and purred in her ear. I am jealous since I thought he only did that with me, haha. And Zing! the uniquely marked hamster was adopted too. His solid and mottled gray and white markings are very cute. His new Mom once had a syrian hamster, lost to old age and wanted to adopt a dwarf hamster.
