About This Opportunity
Turtle Care volunteers help with the ongoing care (feeding/cleaning) of the injured turtles that are in the rehabilitation process at our centre. Often our turtle patients can spend up to a year in our care as they recover from their injuries. You must be at least 18 and be able to commit to one 3.5 hour shift per week for a minimum of three months.
Each of our turtle species requires a specialized diet to keep them healthy (and their injuries healing) while at the OTCC. Many of these volunteers also help out with turtle tank cleanings when an extra hand is needed. We rely on our wonderful “Feeder” volunteers to ensure that each turtle gets an appropriate balance of protein, fat, fiber, etc. in their diet. Our Feeders provide different combinations of earth worms, small fish, pellets, and leafy greens to our turtles!
