Terryo, Can you please tell me the name of plants in tank? Are they real? I have 4 Eastern Box hatchlings, they are 6 mos old now. They eat wrigglers, floating food sticks and moist puppy food. I see moist Cat food is mentioned, shud I change to Cat food? I am moving them to a larger tank now...

What type of moss do yu use?

Hi kBroadway2, How is your baby doing? So far my 4 are doing ok and eating. They love to soak and swim, but when I put them back in tank after eating, they burrow until next feeding. Told May be my lighting is too brite. I would love to see them watching around, but guess like human babies...

Ah-ha......Think that is why they stay burrowed, this new light is very much brighter than the 50 watt blue bulb. Thanks so much for your input TortMomma. :)

Thank you!!

Need to add, that I bought a water dish at Petco, perfect fit for all 4, but after I soak them in warm water and feed them, I put them back in tank, they are so active during soak time, then they burrow when put back in tank, and don't see them anymore until I take them out to soak. I keep tank...

Hi Everyone, My 4 hatchings are still doing great. They love their meal worms....I put 6 in their water dish I put them in to soak and swim and they started eating them right away. They eat cat food too, I roll it into little balls so they grab them easier. Should I be feeding them everyday...

Can anyone tell me if the pic I posted above.....is an Eastern Boxie also? She is my smallest boxie. Thank Yu!

I so thank you !

Ok, thank you !!!

Thank Yu for all that info, I have been misting inside the tank so soil top stays moist. I have been seeing Dad n Mom mating all the time for 4 yrs, never no babies. When I came across the first hatching, I got all excited. There are many birds in my neighbors tree. They drink sometimes from my...

The bulb I have is shaped like a regular house bulb. I will get a UVB bulb tomorrow. Thank You!!!!!

Thanks Moozillion, temp is 78 and humidity is in Moderate area. That sound about right?

It is 12 ins from bottom of tank to the top. The light sits on the cover screen. The temp is 78 on the cool side. I have a temp and humidity gauge inside tank. The bulb came with the dome lite. It states on box, it is a day blue incandescent 50 watt bulb, is that bulb ok?

Let us know when it happens, I want one!!! I hv many Turtle T-shirts, I love them!

Finally took a pic of my 4 Eastern Box Turtle Hatchlings. They are a week old now and so far are doing fine and eating moist cat food and meal worms, every other day......as that is what they preferred. Hope this picking eating is not going to be all winter. Reminds me of a grandson who was the...

Hello, Just set up my Aquarium for my 4 hatchlings box turtles. I used Loose Coconut Fiber Substrate. A Hide and 5.5 Lamp Dome with 50 watt blue bulb, that came with tank. I need to know if this Substrate is ok, and the wattage of the bulb is enough, or should use lower watt. When I put Babies...

I found some Wigglers in my pen outside wen I was looking for the hatching, came across them under the pine needles where it was damp. When I bring the waterboarding out to clean the water dishes and if water ponds anywhere, yu will see them when they come up for air. I didn't know I even had...

Well my 4 ate 3 mealworms yesterday, and some of the cat food. I cover their tub when it's time to eat. Yesterday, I peeked under the towel and one of the hatchlings had a piece in his mouth, but dropped it when he saw me. Whoops, won't do that again, the 3 meal worms were gone too. So every...
