I posted this on another turtle forum. Just looking for some multiple inputs on my little question.
Earlier this year we acquired a SW box turtle from my wife's mother who was tired of watching it. Last winter this boxie hibernated in a box in the back bedroom of the mom's house. Mom had...
Well, not new new, but maybe new to us :)
My gf's mom has had this boxie for quite a few years and mom is getting to the point where she doesn't want to care for it anymore. It hasn't been given the best habitat or diet (small box with wood chips and fed mostly cat food) but she did...
I know this post is useless without pictures but I had to post up. I've been trying to get a decent picture of his trim but he's not cooperating right now. When I do I'll post up before and after pictures. The vet clipped a little too much off one side and it bled a little, but he's all...
Did some remodeling on Beakers enclosure last night. I grabbed a couple $4 plants when I was at Lowes. Also got some moss to put around his water dish to try and eliminate the mud bath he ends up making when he dives in...
We've been trying all kinds of different fruits, veggies and protein for our boxie and just the other night we tried kiwi fruit and holy hell he's IN LOVE. He was munching on some banana and greens and as soon as he smelled the kiwi it was like nothing else in the world mattered. It was pretty...
I don't know if my 3TBT is finally coming into maturity or he's just SUPER comfortable with his home, but lately he has been displaying his "member" on an almost daily basis. I'm guessing he's getting to the age where his genes are telling him he needs to find a mate. My GF's mom has a SW...
I went out in the yard today and flipped some rocks and to my surprise (its 30 degrees out) I found some pill bugs. I also found what I thought was a snail, but it was an empty shell. Even though the shell was empty, Beaker took a couple bites. He's having all kinds of fun hunting pill bugs...
Beaker was feeling energetic tonight so we let him out for a stroll around the house. He was having such a good time he threw a complete temper tantrum when we put him back in his enclosure. He threw a fit then promptly buried himself in protest. He's starting to show such a personality...
I just got a 3 toe box turtle off CL and i'm trying to give it a new lease on life. The girl said it was about 4yrs old and it looks to have been petty neglected. Overgrown beak and claws were my first sign.
It feels heavy so I don't think he is dehydrated. I tried feeding this morning...
I just acquired a pet turtle and I'm trying to learn about it and how to properly care for it. It was listed on craigslist as a male box turtle, but I can't seem to be able to identify what kind it is, so that's why i'm here. Once me and the GF decided to get a turtle, I started reading up on...
