On day 3 of volunteering with the Turtle Conservation Project, we gathered turtle food and checked in on some turtles that were in quarantine, a kind of turtle hospital.

The two current residents of the hospital are Taleah and Marquita. Taleah is here because she has a deformity. Marquita lost a limb after an attack by a dog. Both turtles will stay quarantined from the others for now. Once they are bigger and can better defend themselves, they will gradually be released back into the wild.
