I don't understand your reasoning at all.
Okay people, okay. I said it doesn't really matter because it'll die eventually anyways, no matter how long we manage to keep it alive. Even if we could put him back in the wild, you can't guarantee that he would have a longer, happier life. Plus Turtle's pretty small. He'd be an extremely easy prey for other animals! :/
And for the record, we do care about him. We just don't know HOW to care for him. We've tried all sorts of food for him and we can't find something he likes! Crickets are too big for him (tried chopping some up too). Ants don't work. Frog pellet food things don't work. He wouldn't eat the small flies I managed to catch. But my dad thinks it did eat a mosquito he put in. We're gonna try the really gross worm things next!
