I was hoping it wasn’t but that’s what I was starting to think. Maybe his friend in the cage with him did it?looks like another animal did that to him... have him in quarantine keep him warm. maybe a rat or possum?
i’m pretty sure he didn’t you should keep them together...I was hoping it wasn’t but that’s what I was starting to think. Maybe his friend in the cage with him did it?
Thank you for the advicePeople don't realize it, but baby box turtles are pretty aggressive and cannibalistic. I had to learn the hard way too.
Sometimes you are able to keep them together in one enclosure, but sometimes you have to keep them separately. You now know that you are one of the ones who has to keep their baby box turtles separately.
You can clean the wounds just like you would clean your child's skinned knee, and dab on a bit of first aid cream. Above all, don't put this baby outside where flies can get to it until the wounds have healed.
