Hello, first time turtle owner. Was given this baby turtle that I’m told is a Sulcate. Was totally not prepared for this… I feel like I’m doing everything wrong and I’m always so worried I’m gunna wake up to a dead turtle. Please help. The turtle is about the size of my palm, tiny little guy. Not sure if it’s a girl or a boy. We originally had him in a box with soil and we have moved him to almost like bark…. Not sure if either is right. I got him a heat light (UVA) but it seems bright. We have a cat who keeps trying to get in the box so we had to put chicken wire on top. we have been feeding him romaine, turnip greens, and mustard greens, but I’m reading that grass may be the best…. He has water and a cave/cover area. Check out his habitat and let me know if things need to change or what I need to know or do. He likes to climb on the cave and that worries me cuz he falls off and ends up on his back.
