Sammy is no longer in her large enclosure. We relocated her several weeks ago to this smaller home which can be warmed much easier. Sammy greets me in the morning when I turn on her lights-- with her little head poking out of the substrate. She will climb on her hide for a few minutes,, but...
Will definitely get the gerber food. Been using the organic carrot juice and I tried wet dog food. Will pick up cat food tomorrow. Thank you thank you.
Temp in one end is around 95. I can increase. I’ve tried the following: earth worms, night crawlers, horn worms, pellets(were her fav) raspberries, chicken, dried crickets, boiled egg, Boxie meatballs, Romain lettuce. Any other suggestions? I am so frustrated and sad
It’s 6 weeks now and still no food intake. I’m soaking her daily for 30 minutes, doing a carrot soak once a week and offering a variety of suggested foods. This past week very little activity except when she soaks. She would stay borrowed if I didn’t unearth her for soaks. Is she trying to...

We’ve moved her to a smaller enclosure where the temp is 80 at one end and closer to 90 the other. It’s been 4 weeks since she ate anything I’m keeping her CHE on all night and turn on Uvb and basking lamp in the morning. She comes out and basks on top of her hide in the morning but will not...

You live in Connecticut!! Oh my word. I’m so alone here, no one seems to know anything about turtles! Sammy is the sweetest thing but I’m so fearful that something is wrong. This is week three with no eating. She has been in her water and drinking during her morning soak. But little...
