I'm thinking seriously about sending him to Sandy Barnett, the turtle rehabber in New Mexico. I feel out of options and don't know what else to do.
He looks good.Another
I took this picture this morning with you in mind, this little guy is about the size of a quarter. I will put him in this little bowl every morning with food in it and leave the room for about an hour. He ended up eating one and a half dubia today. I will put different things in there daily and then I also put food in the enclosure and pellets in his soak. Each one is different and it's a matter of just figuring out what works.Still not eating. Today we tried a slug and he had no interest. In fact, the slug crawled on his shell after each time we put it back in front of him. Ugh.
I personally think handling him for soaks is good because, he will start to understand you aren't a predator.
Nobody is annoyed, we want to help you with your frustrations.
When I put crickets in I remove the large legs, it makes it much easier for them to hunt them down and eat. Just leave them in the enclosure and don't worry about looking for them. If the turtle is still pooping some during soaks its eating.
He still won't eat any kind of earthworms?
