Hi All
I just acquired a new turtle with MBD and joined here seeking advice on his rehab. I've cared for turtles for about 25 years - I used to work at the Zoo, now at a local park system. Never done any breeding, just maintain a collection for educational programming. I've never had to care for a sick turtle before, and do not have access to a vet with herp experience right now, so I need some help!! Posted my questions over on the Box turtle forum b/c he is (supposed to be) an ornate box turtle. His shell doesn't have classic ornate pattern, so i'll be posting a pic for advice on he species as well!
Thanks for all of your time and experience!
