    Box Turtle with Diarrhea

    No new food was given to her. Her diet has been the same. The only medicine given to her was a cream for the wound on her leg.

    Box Turtle with Diarrhea

    For the ground meat or turkey would it be raw? I have never given her meat before so I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be cooked or not. Thanks!

    Box Turtle with Diarrhea

    Hey! Yes she does get natural plants and flowers as well as fruits and vegetables! She doesn’t get them much (not too often or in high amounts) but we do try to include fresh and natural food in her diet. She prefers more protein (mealworms and insects) overall. We try to include flowers from...

    My box turtle, squirtle, has been having diarrhea for a couple of weeks now but it has been getting worse in my opinion. Before her poop wasn’t too watery but now it is. She’s not pooping as much as she used to either. I have not changed her diet at all. I noticed her diarrhea got worse after...

    Blue Water in Water Bowl

    The rainbow colored stuff is aquatic rocks which was given to me but I don’t use at all. I’m not sure about the moss and fake plants because they have never caused problems before.

    Blue Water in Water Bowl

    Hey! I took pictures right away but the quality isn’t great. And no there’s nothing blue that could have been rubbed off! The only blue thing is the food bowl but no color is rubbing off.

    Dry Skin and Peeling 🐢

    For my enclosure this is the current set up I have for now. Since I just got my baby not too long ago I haven’t had the chance to get the best enclosure/set up yet.

    Dry Skin and Peeling 🐢

    Hey guys! I been noticing that my small box turtle has dry peeling skin. It’s mostly around the neck area. I heard that turtles can shed. I just want to double check if it’s normal. And also what I could possibly do to help with the dry skin and peeling. Thanks 🙏🏻

    Box Turtle 🐢 Poop 💩 Concern

    Hey again, I’m concerned about my small box turtle. My baby has been pooping quite a lot, not only that but the size of the poop is quite large. Is this normal ? Should I cut down on the food ? Thanks 🙏🏻

    Concern regarding my box turtle’s water bowl

    This morning I was checking my baby’s water bowl to see how full and dirty it was when I noticed a blackish stain. I then grabbed a wet towel and began to scrub at it. A blueish blackish color was left on the towel but the stain was still left on the bowl. I’m not sure if it’s something like...
