Answer:
Hatchlings found with yolk sacks still attached should be kept in warm moist environment, on paper towels until the yolk gets fully absorbed.
You should never attempt to detach the yolk sack, it will kill the turtle.
Those turtles which already don't have any yolk sack attached should be kept in water, approximately 1-2 inches deep. The water should be warm
and clean. They might not feed for a while, but with time if you offer them small earthworms or pieces of fish will start. Be patient.
