These pics were taken before. That is not my reptile carpet.Yes, her beak needs trimming. Be very careful because her face is deformed too.
Reptile carpet is not a good substrate for a box turtle. Please read the care sheet. Her messed up foot may well be the result of the improper substrate she lived on before.
So good that she has been rescued! If you can set her up outdoors for the summer it will be so good for her.
What do you mean her face is deformed? I just see an overgrown beak. Am I missing something?Yes, her beak needs trimming. Be very careful because her face is deformed too.

I'm thinking the beginning of MBD as well. She had an appointment with the vet to look at her beak, but I had a dog with an emergency injury so had to cancel her appointment. I'm going to feed her on a rock until I can get her in. She has a great personality!! After only 3 days here she seems so comfortable. Not pacing or stressed and not hiding all the time. Seems very comfortable in her enclosure and she's very friendly and outgoing. The only she has eaten for me so far are nightcrawlers.Stubby tail and jacked up nails are the beginnings of MVB. She should be fine with some outside time, proper diet, and a nail/beak trim.
