Goodbye Donatello

Early Monday morning, we dropped off Donatello at the guardhouse. DENR will pick him/her up this morning. We wanted to meet the crew, but I unfortunately have an appointment.

Surprisingly, the guard said they also found a baby turtle two weeks ago. That's not a good sign since it means there may be two egg laying female turtles in our area. We have a creek that I think connects to the bay.


We gave Donatello the best quality of life we could provide. The boys managed to get some pellets and the pet store owner suggested to give Donatello some guppies. Two to three tiny ones a day. He/she seemed to enjoy the guppies. Made friends with two and just ate one. 

I honestly didn't spend that much time with Donatello last night. I didn't want to get too attached since I would have a hard time letting it go. Donatello though would poke his head out whenever I said hello. I can only hope that he'll have a good life with the DENR folks (yes, I know euthanasia is possible).

Farewell Bud.
