PS...she gets calcium powder on her worms...she also chews on her cuttlebone. Light is dual fixture non-heat and dome is ceramic heater.

Our box turtle (Rose) was hatched November of 2016 and quickly out grew its 10 gallon tank. My husband fashioned the new home from a rubbermaid storage box. We use coir with peat for the substrate and it keep it pretty moist so she can burrow. I wet it and fluff it up with my hand to loosen...

Could you send pictures or links with sample tote set ups? Everyone's been so helpful. Thanks, again, for your time.--CM

Hi everyone, Rose (formerly of Save Our Hatchling) is now 5 months old. She hatched November 5, 2016 and weighed 5.66 grams. She's tipping the scales at 28 grams and seems to eat all the time :). Loves rollie-polly bugs, earthworms, cantaloupe, and apples. Her bugs get coated in calcium and...

Hi Bibbit the forum gave me great advice for my hatchling. Here's a picture of the aquarium. We have more substrate towards the back with lots of moistened sphagnum moss piled up to hide in. We spray the environment twice a day to keep the humidity up.

First I want to give a shout out to everyone who has helped guide us in the care of our beastie. Her name is Rose and from November 5th of this year to today...she's had a few mile stones. Rose had her egg tooth when we found her, and the yolk sac sustained her for 5 weeks. We soaked her...

Got wonderful advice on my post, S.O.H save our hatchling. Hatched 11/5 and lives in moistened peat and coconut fiber. Her substrate stays moist...we mist twice a day. She stays buried except to eat. LOVES pill bugs! She's so tiny. We soak her, let her get warm...no warmth no eat. Then she...

Again, thank you. Happy Holidays!

Dear PJay: Update...our Rose was a month old last Monday and we're happy to say she loves pill bugs! Doesn't like worms. :) Thanks for the suggestion. We've learned to give her a good soak in the afternoon, let her bask for a while to get warm, then give her a pill bug. She prefers to eat...

PJay, your Rose is good looking!

Question: is the squash uncooked and the "kibble" mixed in?

Thank you.

Our Rose was taking bites of the cuttlebone piece this morning. But still not interested in food.

Yes, her name is Rose. She weighs in at 0.20 ounce. :tort:

Hope this works, I'm posting a picture. She's really responding to the increased temperature. Thanks a million.

Again, thank you so much. This forum has been wonderful. We'll try the different feeding methods.--cm

Thank you for the prompt response. :)

UPDATE: our hatchling is now two weeks old and still hiding in her substrate. Not eating yet. Raised the temperature of her area a bit to 75-78 degrees and placed her under the merc. vapor light. It really perked her up. What is an idea temperature for a 10-gallon tank and should we add a...

Thank you for the information and the welcome!
