2 grown female eastern box turtles
5 baby box turtles found in yard, 1 year old now and very healthy
2 red-footed tortoises
We live in northeast Florida, Jacksonville, we are trying to figure out how to bring the tortoises in during the coldest months. This is north Florida, so January and February can get down in the 30s. We have a room we can use but we are trying to figure out how to handle the poops (and pees). This morning, I came up with the idea of putting disposable baby diapers on the tortoises. Has anyone ever heard of, or done this. Any suggestions welcome.
And to KRB1093 Oct 4 posting regarding baby box turtles, have you tried the pets communities under Craigslist in different places, maybe some here in Florida. Turtle lovers, esp S. Florida, have big yards and would probably be interested. There are services that ship animals, not sure what the name is. Google it. Check Craigslist/communities/pets in Jacksonville, Gainsville, Orlando, Miami, Tampa etc. Good luck.
