Thanks everyone!! I changed out her enclosure yet again !! I put the remainder of spagnum moss soaked with standing water and had my boyfriend cut the worm. I didn't have the mindset. The segment of worm was still moving and.... she ATE IT !!!!!
She was tearing it up !!! I feel so much better...
Thanks so much for the info!!
I ran into Walmart at lunch and got some nightcrawlers which I was told by another customer (the employees had no idea) are earth worms ?!?
So I should just leave them to crawl around her enclosure with her not cut them up or anything ?
Also is she getting the...
Thanks so much for your reply !! I wasnt sure If I should be trying to wake her up if she was in fact trying to hibernate !!
So I usually find her buried and get her out when I get home from work. I then put her in a soaking tub under a uvb light for about 20 minutes because she isn't getting...
So I tried some blood worms and a frozen turtle mix. I tried cantaloupe and a canned sweet potato purée. Changed the uv bulb and did some longer soaks. Tried hand feeding with tweezers and today she literally walked through her food. It's like she's blind !!
She walked through her food dish...
Hi,
I've had my hatchling for two months. Until a few days ago all was well. I changed out her substrate and made it a bit deeper and it seems she just wants to dig and is not interested in food. I have switched up her food and given her her favorite canned dog food and she literally walks...
I'm in odenton close to Crofton. Anne Arundel County
I'm in a townhouse development that's adjacent to a Marc train commuter station and parking lot. Busy urban type neighborhood. Doesn't seem like any wildlife would be here but I think these developers are building anywhere these days and...
Hi, Im reading this post as I'm looking for set up ideas for my new turtle. Would you happen to have, and if you do, would you mind to share, photos of the tub habitat you mentioned above ? Thanks so much !! Tracy :)
Ok !! thanks so much !! I will bury that for sure !! I posted a few mor pix of his one foot. I hope his foot is going to be ok. It really looks different than the other foot. worried !!!
Thanks! I later went back on the same thread and posted some pix as best I could. One back foot seems to be club like or like a paddle ? It's so hard to get a good pix. It's really not like the other foot at all
So I was trying to take a picture and his back feet are different I noticed. It's like he has a club foot ? I think the one foot has 4 toes ? The other has some underdeveloped toes ? He just got in the water again
i fed him too. Pellets and sweet potato and grated carrots
I just gave it more food and soaked it. When I put him back in his enclosure he went to his water and dove in !! Haha!! He came right back out !! But he has never done this since I've had him.
