Woo hoo!
He's been so miserable at my house in dry dock. He loves being outside in his wading pool and fights me when I bring him in at night.
Luckily, my friends have a backyard pond they've built for their ducks and allowed me to put Humpty Dumpty in it today.
He hesitated only a minute before plunging into the water. Yay! Happy turtle again!
Dr Folland and my turtle rescue friend suspect that Humpty is a wild-caught turtle who got picked up after he got run over. His shell, his mannerisms, and his refusal to eat normal food all fit the lifestyle of a wild turtle. Since I wasn't willing to just dump him in the "wild," the pond is a perfect home for him.
