Head of right front limb Turtle is injured; the ulcer on the apricot near the neck is 10 cm long, 4 cm wide, and the back is slightly ulcerated on the nail, there are two scars on the apricot.

According to Dr. Nguyen Viet Vinh, a member of the council for treating Sword Lake turtle, the fish-eating turtle in the first day of the tank is a good signal.

" During the arrest, we found an important source of food for turtles in the lake, which is not serious. There are no fishes in the net when catching the turtles . "

To prevent environmental shock, water to feed turtles in the pool is the water of the lake itself pumped into the filter system. The cleanliness of the water in the tank is understood according to the environmental meaning.

" Since the introduction of the Tortoise into the healing tank, there have been no signs of shock. It is possible that he is used to the noise of Hanoi, " Vinh said.
