Popeye Is Getting Stronger

Popeye is getting much stronger. Still not eating and drinking on his own, We are soaking =and hand feeding him each day or so. Only after stimulation does he eat. It is very important to keep his digestive system full of nutrients. Although the tortoise has the same digestive organs as most other vertebrates, it has adapted to cope extremely well in severe conditions where food and water conservation is at a premium. The tortoise can extract and assimilate moisture and nutrients from food items which to the human eye look completely “dried up” and would be of no nutritional benefit to most other living creatures. Tortoises can achieve this by means of a “hindgut system” which is effectively like having two digestive tracts, the latter of which reabsorbs any moisture from the waste products already produced by the former. Arid habitat tortoises can also effectively split up their urinary waste in the kidneys, storing valuable water in the bladder and only expelling the waste product in the form of insoluble uric acid crystals. The crystals have a similar look to toothpaste when passed. If this story is new to you, Popeye was found dead in one of the tortoise yards. There is no easy way to say it. He was dead for the first ten minutes of us doing CPR. But we did not give up and about a half-hour later, he was alive. We wrote a page on the website about turtle CPR because it does work!

The sanctuary has adopted animals including reptiles, birds, and assorted wildlife. Once brought to the facility, these exotic animals are housed in naturalistic settings. Allowing propagation that is used for conservation. Currently, this facility houses species of animals listed on CITES. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora is an international treaty to prevent species from becoming endangered or extinct because of international trade. Adding, the Crazy Critters organization has produced offspring from species currently found on the IUCN's Red List. Established in 1964, the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species has evolved to become the world’s most comprehensive information source on the global conservation status of animal, fungi and plant species. Crazy Critters Inc. is a self-funded organization that depends on the greenhouse nursery to pay for the cost of housing exotic animals. The facility grows and sells species of plants such as succulent and cactus to support the care of the animals. Many too are listed on the IUCN's Redlist.
