No species\u2010specific nutritional guidelines currently exist for its rehabilitation. This retrospective study analyzed feeding practices, feed acceptance, and body weight change in 20\n                    <jats:italic>C. caretta<\/jats:italic>\n                    admitted to a Mediterranean rescue center between 2020 and 2023. Estimated target gross energy provision, modeled from body\u2010weight percentages, ranged from 11.1 to 22.2\u00a0kcal\/kg body weight\/day under a squid\u2010only regimen and from 18.1 to 36.2\u00a0kcal\/kg body weight\/day under a mixed regimen, with corresponding target dry matter provision of 2.7\u20135.4 and 3.1\u20136.2\u00a0g\/kg body weight\/day. Energy actually consumed, derived from recorded daily rations, fell within the modeled target range for both regimens, the daily ration corresponding to a median of 2.01% of body weight. Dietary variety was positively associated with weight change, but this did not persist after correction for multiple comparisons and is reported as hypothesis generating. Overall, 90% of animals were released, a descriptive outcome that the retrospective design does not allow to be attributed to feeding management. Thawed squid (\n                    <jats:italic>Loligo vulgaris<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) was the most frequently offered and the most readily accepted feed item. These findings offer a preliminary, hypothesis\u2010generating framework for future prospective nutritional studies of this species in Mediterranean rehabilitation settings.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/1749-4877.70224","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,12]],"date-time":"2026-10-12T13:55:38Z","timestamp":1791813338000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Feeding Practices, Body Condition, and Estimated Energy Provision in Rescued Loggerhead Sea Turtles (\n                    <i>Caretta caretta<\/i>\n                    ) at a Mediterranean Rehabilitation Center: A Three\u2010Year Retrospective Study"],"prefix":"10.1111","author":[{"given":"Federica","family":"Perazzo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Medicine University of Sassari  Sassari Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giovannantonio","family":"Pilo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"C.R.A.M.A.\u2013Marine Animal Rescue Center of Asinara, Cala Reale, Asinara Island  Porto Torres Sassari Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria Grazia","family":"Cappai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Medicine University of Sassari  Sassari Italy"},{"name":"C.R.A.M.A.\u2013Marine Animal Rescue Center of Asinara, Cala Reale, Asinara Island  Porto Torres Sassari Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.2517\u20106161.1995.tb02031.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00227\u2010006\u20100282\u20108"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","volume-title":"Incidental Catch of Marine Turtles in the Mediterranean Sea: Captures, Mortality, Priorities","author":"Casale P.","year":"2008"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3989\/scimar.2011.75n1197"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3354\/esr00319"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3989\/scimar.2009.73n3589"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_1","volume-title":"Linee Guida per il Recupero, Soccorso, Affidamento e Gestione delle Tartarughe Marine","author":"ISPRA","year":"2013"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_9_1","unstructured":"IUCN.2025.The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
