A bale of approximately 25 snapping turtles is being released back into its habitat, the founder of animal refuge Wild at Heart says. They brought the nest into Wild At Heart , where volunteers set up a hatching area for the eggs. Jouppi said that snapping turtles are born with a yolk sack, which provides them nutrition for the first 10-15 days of their lives. Wild at Heart says they hatched 25 snapping turtles after construction workers brought a nest of eggs to the refuge. And Jouppi said volunteers will now experience the bittersweet feeling of watching animals under their care leave the Wild at Heart nest.
