I’ve been keeping Ornate box turtle for about 8 years. I have an outside pen, 300sf or so that is planted and has many hides. Despite my best efforts, I had a raccoon show up Monday night and pull one of my turtles out and chew off three legs. My initial thought was to keep her inside and let her live out her life but I just don’t think that is my best path.
I called 8 animal hospitals before I was able to find one that would even take on the task. They require an exam and then they will perform the procedure.
It was frustrating to have to call so many people, and then to find out how much it would cost. Although unfortunate, the cost is not an issue for me. I do know that some keepers would have problems with this.
Keep your Babis safe.
