Last week, we were able to release this gray tree frog right back into the plant she was found in at the garden center. We did so at dusk, as they are nocturnal. Her leg healed nicely.

Four box turtles came into rehab yesterday. This puts us currently at 13 box turtles in care. We are so grateful for the recent donation of this nebulizer from our amazon wishlist. We attached it to a box, and this turtle who came in with a symptoms of respiratory illness yesterday, was able to get some treatment to help him get to breathing better.

Someone recently bought us this foam off our wishlist so that we could make this physical therapy tub. This guy is slowing building up strength in his legs and the bumpy foam makes an uneven surface to challenge him. The only way this particular turtle is motivated to walk is with a worm in tongs, but hey it works! Our amazon wishlist link is in the comments. Some stuff on the list may look odd, but it all has a purpose.

Another box turtle release this week! This one had come in with a small abrasion on the carapace, but is all healed and ready to go. Thank you to our amazing transporters who drive all over to get these guys and gals back to their home territory.

Would love to do this in East Tennessee. If anyone has connections to developers and construction companies, we could start a new project and save some turtles.

A big shoutout and thank you to Subs n Such in Alcoa. They had some buckets they were giving away, and set a few aside for our wildlife rehab. They are great local business with delicious sandwiches and they care about our local wildlife. Go check them out!

The sweet turtle left at a local vets is currently healing after receiving surgery on a wound to her leg. Not everyone knows that wildlife rehabbers exist, and this finder did the best they thought they could to save this turtle. They saved 8 lives that day, as radiographs show she has 7 eggs. We will continue to care for her, under the guide of our exotic vets, and hope that despite her injuries, she will be able to lay these eggs.
