    Uvb?

    Usually once a week outdoors. Had her outside the whole summer last year and she bromates from about October til April, even with my attempts to keep her awake all year round, she still just does her thing and hides and doesn’t eat for six months. A few days ago I started experimenting with uvb...

    Uvb?

    Does anyone use uvb on their indoor enclosures? My boxie is burrowed so much Time that I think it would be a waste. I take her outside once in a while to get natural sunlight. I do supplement with calcium with vitamin d once a weekish. I kept my boxie indoors for this summer. She didn’t seem to...

    Box turtle brumating/hibernating already?

    Ok that’s kind of what I was thinking too but it just freaks me out that she won’t eat for six months. But they do that in the wild so it makes sense. I swear my turtle only gained about 6-10 grams of weight this year. It just scares me. Thanks

    Box turtle brumating/hibernating already?

    The crazy thing is that I did all of that last year because I wasn’t going to have her hibernate but she still did. I kept temps up and soaks, offered food and she didn’t perk up til April. I think I just need to accept that she will be hibernating every year. Thanks for your help

    Rosey??

    I feel like my box turtle is way below average. She is only about 70 grams and maybe 3 inches and I think she may be two years old

    Box turtle outdoor question.

    Ok cool thanks. I do have an area that I put sphagnum moss in that stays mostly out of the sun, like 70%of the day, that my turtle loves to hang out in. She is still kind of young and shy so she hides a ton. So I’m wondering if I’m stressing her out more by moving her back and forth from inside...

    Box turtle outdoor question.

    So I’m just wondering if leaving my box turtle outside for summer nights is ok? I live in Wisconsin and most nights I say it gets down to 62-65 degrees and is usually in the 80s during the day. So is 60 too cold for my boxie at night? I know a lot of care sheets say never let the air temp get...

    Can someone tell me what my boxie is?

    Hi I’ve had my box turtle for maybe 9 months and I don’t really know what type he/she is. Any help would be awesome! Not sure on age either. Maybe 2 or 3? So she spends half of her time inside and half outside. Definitely stays dug down a lot. And doesn’t have a great diet. The person I got...
