I think I'm loosing the battle with myself on not getting another tortoise (or turtle) I am so in love with the look of box turtles but do not know much about them to see if I can meet a hatchlings care...
Particularly- protein. What % of diet is it and how many different items fit the bill? I live in ohio so bugs in the winter will be an issue, not to mention I am kind of a sissy about killing any living thing...worms I can cope with but is this enough? Hard boiled eggs?
Habitat- I have an extra 4.5x3.5 enclosure. Its solid plexi and water proof. How long would this last me?
Uv requirements. I have a few extra powersuns. Do these work well?
Types- could anyone give me a pic of yours to show me the looks of each type.
Thanks in advance.
