Hello Everybody,
I just wanted to share a picture of my Eastern Box turtle Noel enjoying a couple of ripe Blueberries I gave her as a treat recently. The only thing she loves more than fruit is anything that wiggles but I guess that is to be expected.
When I feed her worms (this next picture was after eating several superworms) she always gets really excited and runs up to the front of her cage waiting for more. Breaks my heart to only feed her a couple at a time.
I do also have a question though, she is 4 years old, how often should I be feeding her? Right now I feed her once every two days alternating protein based foods (crickets, supers, nightcrawlers, horned worms, silk worms, etc) and a mix of grated carrots, bel peppers, zoo med forest turtle food, lettuce. When I give her the the veggie mix she gets the whole bowl but only eats a small portion, when I feed her the worms or crickets I only give her a couple as I want her to eat more greens. She weighs 263g right now.
