Join us for a first-person (fish) view of a training session with our enormous Green Sea Turtle, Stewy!
Curious what’s going on? Our veterinary assistant manipulates Stewy’s flippers to evaluate their appearance, check for injuries and ensure they can move normally. The frequent head and shell rubs are to help desensitize Stewy to touch, and they ensure he doesn’t have any issues or injuries on those parts of his body as well.
The newest addition to this routine are jaw holds, which allow our vet to examine his eyes and beak!
