I have four ornate box turtles, i wake them up every week to feed them if they are sleeping. my largest female she wont eat. her jaw squeaks, and she will spit out the cricket? i don't know if its just the dirt in her mouth, or maybe shes tired.

Hi Greeny 17:
It sounds like there is something wrong with her mouth. I think she needs to be taken to see a turtle vet.

You are waking them from hibernation to feed them? You should not be feeding them while they are hibernating. I would get her up and warmed up. If she's still not eating, then you should get her to the vet. I also think you should get the other ones up and overwinter them as well if you have been feeding them. They need the heat to digest their food.
