Updates On 19th Sep 2013

This week at AWRC, we are very happy to let everyone know about our Giant Asian pond turtles first night out in their outdoor enclosures. As some of you might know, we have been in the process of constructing an outdoor sanctuary for the animals in AWRC with the help of volunteers.As the project comes to a close, we have begun trials of bringing the animals to the outdoor sanctuary to slowly let them adapt back to the natural environment.

Boltz, Andrea and Audrey, our Giant Asian pond turtles were the first animals to be let out overnight under close watch to monitor their behaviour and we are glad to say that it was a success. The turtles enjoyed their new enclosures and spent a large portion of their time in their new water tubs; something they didn�t do as much back in their quarantine enclosures as it was rather small.

We would be slowly bringing out other residents of AWRC to their new enclosures so do watch for new updates.
