I found two red eared sliders in my pond which I try and keep turtles out of. They are both in bad shape one doesn't move much and has some shell rot(I think) and the other one is more active but looks like a raccoon attacked it. What do I do? Should I release them or nurse them back to health? I would love to keep them as pets because they are in such bad shape but I think I should do what is best for the turtles.
