My husband and I provide a "home shelter" for rescued (unwanted, abused or abandoned) red eared slider turtles. We have outdoor ponds and do our best to maintain a healthy environment for them. Most of them are thriving. However, a new red eared slider recently joined us. Her shell had been crushed, possibly runover by a car, at least 7 months ago. The woman who gave her to us also shelters turtles, and when she found this one, in a Las Vegas city park, she glued the shell together with Krazy Glue. Our concern is that though the glue held "Luna''s" shell together and possibly saved her life, the ingredients may, in the end, be toxic to her. Other than the broken shell, there is no other observable damage. She is 5 inches long, and there is a line of breakage on the bottom, appx 3 inches long. The top has two breaks totalling 7 inches. She seems very lethargic, but perhaps it is just fear and stress - getting used to a new home. What do you think we should do? Thanks!
