Over a month on and Olivia the loggerhead turtle is now is a warm salt water pool at the GSPCA and doing very well.
As you can imagine heating the rooms and now the pool aren't cheap and we continue to appeal for any support with donations towards her care.
Now she is in her pool we are trying to encourage her to eat naturally which she is yet to do. In the wild loggerhead turtles are omnivorous, feeding mainly on bottom dwelling invertebrates: mollusks, crustaceans, horseshoe crabs, clams, mussels, and other marine animals. Their large and powerful jaw serve as an effective tool in dismantling its prey.
We are appealing for donations now also to help feed her. We are extremely grateful to Waitrose that helped donate squid which she has eaten but we now need to source other food types to help her with her recovery.
Geoff George main carer for Olivia at the GSPCA said "Olivia the loggerhead turtle is doing very well in her salt water warm pool her at the GSPCA thanks to so many kind companies and people."
"We now want her to start feeding for herself as she hasn't for probably more than 6 weeks."
"When we checked her stomach when she first came in with an endoscope at Vets 4 Pets it was empty and we have had her for over a month now."
"She has put on weight but we really need her to start eating for herself."
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "Olivia is much happier now that she has put on some weight and is in warm salty water."
"She has had a really hard time over the last few months and we are doing everything we can for her at the GSPCA."
"We now need her to try and eat for herself to help her gain weight."
"The types of food loggerheads eat are things like mollusks, crustaceans, horseshoe crabs, clams, mussels, and others and the squid Waitrose donated have been a great help."
"We are appealing for donations to help towards he food or the help heat the water and rooms where she she is kept as we have heaters going 24/7."
"Thank you to everyone that has helped so far it is really appreciated."
