So I just got a baby 3 toed box turtle a couple weeks ago and at first I setup a realistic enclosure with dirt, hides, leaf litter and all that good stuff but the box turtle completely stopped eating and was just burying himself. So I changed him into a water setup with some sphagnum moss and threw a couple night crawlers in there with him. Yesterday when I went to check on him and I lifted up his coconut and he was cuddled up with 3 night crawlers 😂. Has anyone ever seen this behavior?
I was able to get him to eat some cat food and some reptomin this morning. Any other food recommendations for a picky box turtle?
I just ordered some black soldier fly larvae in hopes them being smaller will entice him.
He ate 2 worms when I first got him home but now he seems to be friends with them.
Any food advice would be great! Thanks!
