Rescued a little 3 toed box turtle. She was in bad shape. Claws were so long and malformed she could hardly walk. Her beak was partially broken so she was having trouble eating. Her shell doesn't look very healthy. I did not remove her from her natural environment, she was found by a student in the middle of the street, and taken home where she was kept in a 1 foot x 1 foot box. She is now in a large habitat with proper lighting, proper bedding, proper food. She is eating soft food, and is drinking. It is obvious someone had this little cutey as a pet because she loves to be held and talked to. It is also obvious they didn't know what they were doing. I have 2 Redearred sliders, and a red legged tortoise, so this isn't totally new to me. Box turtles are new to me. Any help and advice will be greatly appreciated.
