4 months ago I rescued an injured Eastern Box Turtle from the middle of a busy street in a busy are. It was relatively small - 3" diameter - and had a puncture/cave in on the top of the shell. I was able to thoroughly clean and patch that with a small fiberglass patch. He did very well for almost 4 months in his 30 gal dry enclosure. Recently it is eating less and I have noticed the bottom of its shell is becoming rounded. Does anyone know what might cause this? Seems healthy otherwise. I feed it Zoo Med Box Turtle canned food which is a Veg blend in a gelatin filler. I mix in meal worms with this. I wrap small servings wrapped in foil and freeze them. Any help would be greatly appreciated as my grandkids have become quite attached to "Patch" the Turtle.
