as i have mentioned before (i think) we have a gate in our back fence that opens onto th river walking trail, theres a hill/mound of dirt between th path n back fence (which i assume is for residents privacy) this unimportant piece of information seems irrelevant doesnt it, bear with me..
So mick decided he would dig some steps into th hill to make it easier 2 get up n down. As he was digging he found a group of buried eggs, at first he thought they were snake eggs but then he found hatched turtles under them. Th soil th eggs were packed into was rock hard for starters and im not sure what mummy turtle was thinking when she layed them on th opposite side of th hill to th river. Ants had found their way into th nest n alot of th eggs have holes n seem hollow, he didnt leave them where he found them because of th ants, and besides, th river has no water at th moment so he brought them back home. 4 were hatched already n one was hatching so mick gave it a hand. So now we have 5 baby turtles in a fishtank in th kitchen. Mick fed them bloodworms yesterday n they seem to be eating so hopefully they all will be ok. Th rest of th eggs are in a wooden bowl, im trying to keep them at 28c but unfortunately they feel real light n im not sure they are living. i dont really know what to do. Th one mick helped out of th egg is slower than th rest n doesnt do much but sit on a rock with his eyes shut. I hope he makes it.
