Hey! I'm new to this site, And being a turtle mom, But This is Hummus (Old name was sally, but I thought hummus was cute). I got her from my boyfriend's aunt. She was in awful condition, They left her in a cold basement. In a small tank of water and fish pebbles. No way to walk out of the water. No lamp or sunlight. Tank was never cleaned. I wasn't planning on getting a turtle. But I felt awful for her and asked if I could keep her. Now I've never had one before. They said she was a box turtle. I went and got some temporary bedding, A water dish she can get in and wade. Food (I tried earthworms. But she won't eat them) a lamp and uvb light. But I know it's not enough. So my question is. Does anyone happen to know what breed she is? Possible care tips? Feeding, Habitat, temperatures, watt for lightbulb. Anything is helpful. She's pretty small. When I get paid I'm getting her a bigger home. Thinking either a kiddie pool. Or rubbermaid storage bin. Something big. Ive only been able to get her to eat banana, Some boiled egg white, and a small bit of grape. All she does is burrow in the bedding and sleep, I try to keep her hydrated by soaking and using a spray bottle
Thanks!
Thanks!
