  • What a journey this has been 🥹. I’m going to miss all these guys but glad that I’m keeping two to be with me as life long buddies. I hope these guys enjoy this big pond and accept it as their forever home so I can see them as I drive by every day. Hope to see you guys again later, be safe out there! #turtle #snappingturtle #pond #fish #aquarium

    It really is just a matter of chance for the 4 baby snapping turtles to live to adulthood. I’m sure you did your best to grow and give them their best chance to reach adulthood!

    I’m honestly surprised you didn’t keep them a bit longer, that first half to full year is always gonna be an absolute nightmare for baby turtles, if you keep them till they’re a bit bigger you wipe out the chance of them getting snagged by every manner of aquatic bird, animals like ducks are absolutely gonna be the bane of most of these guys

    I raised a house finch this year when I found it as a hatchling In a newly planted tree (it hatched in a tree at a garden center, tree was planted somewhere else, mom wasn’t coming back) I can certainly understand the bittersweet feeling of letting it go, but it’s very rewarding nonetheless.

  • @dragaoimolado5417
    @dragaoimolado5417 Před 8 měsíci +1

    they did just pass the stages with the most vulnerability to them and you released them directly in the water so it is unlikely they will not live to adulthood. and yes if you left them in the nest it is likely whatever ate part of the eggs would come back to eat the rest since predators will not forgive a free meal. just remember to not do this kind of thing often unless you want to keep them as pets. fortunatelly is not an animal that spawns hundreds per year or it can easilly create an inbalance in the ecosystem and thats also why people "saving" frog eggs is so bad even if it looks like a nice thing.

      He kept two of the six. They poop like absolute units, live forever, and get huge (as in they'll each eventually outgrow everything Luke's shown himself using for goldfish so far), so honestly it'd have been an irresponsibly big commitment to keep all 6. The 2 will eventually need either a mini pond build close to the house or a custom aquarium many hundreds of gallons in size.
