Hi, Thanks! yes, my vet is really knowledgable, I've gone to him for about 15 years. There's very few vets where I live that treat turtles so I am lucky and have a lot of confidence in him

I took her to the vet, she has a V A deficiency most like and a skin infection on her head so is on injectable antibiotics and vitamins

So two people had asked about her set up, diet etc. to be able to give advice...I had replied yesterday.

Her habitat is a 5' long rough tote I think its called, she has a pool she soaks in

She's had the same habitat for 6 yrs, heat lamp and uv lights. She eats crickets and some veg, lettuce and fruit but her main diet is calcium dusted crickets

I've had her for over a year, and never had an issue. The person before me had the same setup for 5 years. I'll try the Vitamin A . Thanks. Is the Vit. A a liquid and how much should I add to her water?

My turtle has always loved crickets and is aggressive in running and catching them. Today I gave her crickets and she shows absolutely no interest. I noticed her eyes are puffy. Any idea what is going on with her???

Thanks for replying. I was told he was an eastern box turtle and didn't realise he was an ornate. I think he is about 5 or so. I assume he is a he as that is what the guy told me. I have tried fruits and vegetables and he will sometimes eat carrots and peas but thats it, seems to be hit and...

I find my ornate bt a fussy eater. The previous owner fed mostly a live cricket diet. He goes after them aggressively, so that is not a problem. It is a problem trying to feed him other food. Any suggestions? Thanks

He has a rock and cement slab. When I got him the previous owner said he had cracked his beak What is used to trim a beak?

Thanks , would work best to click the beak? She was sold to me and the seller said she was an eastern, so thanks for letting me know.

I have an Eastern box turtle. His beak looks the same as when I got him but I'm not sure how long it should be. The previous owner said he had cracked it a bit on a rock when he was chasing crickets

Oh that's right. I remember my sister said she saw trucks in the back alleys. The enclosure is in the front yard. I can move it around which is handy. Its rained here a few times the past week, so I will soak the lawn really well
