Boxie and Pagos, our resident Galapagos tortoises, recently underwent a minor procedure to prepare them for their outdoor habitat. Boxie had an infection underneath her shell, and our vet and animal care teams worked together closely for months to treat her. Once Boxie made a full recovery, her care team also cleaned and packed the divots on the bottom of both her and Pagos’ shells with colorful beeswax as a preventative for any future injury before the girls went outside for the first time this year.
The animals at the Akron Zoo all receive exceptional care, whether they are furry, scaly or shelly.
Today, both Boxie and Pagos are doing well and are enjoying the gorgeous weather!
