That is absolutely the wrong thing to do. You’re supposed to watch from a distance, and allow them to crawl to the water on their own.

Oh I wont help then. I felt bad for them since some were struggling

Yep, I get it … it would be the natural thing to want to help! 🐢💚

I see. I don't know why that is though. Could you explain?

It interferes with their natural development and behavior, disorients them, stresses them. They need to stretch their ligaments, tendons, muscles to prepare for swimming. They need to “imprint” the characteristics of their native beach, their memory guides them back, they return to nest when mature.

Thank you. Kinda impressive, the imprinting. In such a little timeslot.

Indeed!! 🌊 🐢 🐢 🐢
