Question
Hey , my dad found a one eyed turtle in the yard& I wanted to know what to feed it because it looks really hurt ? And how can I tell is its a female or male ?

Answer
Hi Tori,

I can't really help without knowing what species the turtle is.  Can you post back with a picture?  What kind of injuries does it have?  If it's a native species and injured, you probably should contact a wildlife rehabber to take it in.  In any case, if it's injured it will need some kind of vet treatment.  If you can provide a picture, I can help ID it and we can go from there.  Thanks!
