I have no idea how old my turtle is but maybe a width of 5 to 7 inchesHow old is your box turtle? Less than a year old and you're going to have a hard time getting it to eat anything other than bugs. After a year it should be 80% bugs and 20% fruits/veggies. Mine wouldn't eat it either so I just didn't feed them bugs for a few days and only offered fresh fruits and veggies. They won't starve themselves to death, it took 2 days and now they eat just about anything I offer.
Yes she only likes meatHave you tried lightly cooked squash, sweet potatoes, corn, carrots?
tried that didn't workWhat kinds of fruits and veggies are you feeding? I've gotten stubborn box turtles to eat veggies, by mixing a few mealworms into the food blend.
