Holy moly, my husband found this little thing Saturday, 11/05/16 in our box turtle garden...upside down in the turtle water. She's strong and we tried not to stress her too much. We've kept her hydrated by misting and soaking...especially yesterday, she soaked in the water dish we set up. Here is a picture of her home we set up.
She's in a ten-gallon tank with substrate of coco-kor and peat moss. She's burrowed into the ground and has not eaten yet. Tried worms, and left a morsel of cat food but nothing.
How long before we should worry? She still has her egg tooth.
Any suggestions/feedback appreciated. We have adult box turtles that live outdoors...never a hatchling.
Many thanks!!!!!!
