    box turtle hatchling feeding

    The little one is a Chinese box turtle, 8 months old. It was eating the mazuri pellets when I first got it but now it is just eating when I give it red wigglers and ground turkey both of which I keep in the fridge.

    box turtle hatchling feeding

    when feeding worms or meat, do you feed it cold from the refrigerator or do you let the food item get to room temperature?

    Bringing leopard tortoises out

    ok my leo will be 2 years old next year, so will be going out for the first time. I am planning on bringing it in at night. What size/age are they able to overnight outdoors and do they need to be put into their heated nightbox each night or will it figure that out too?

    Bringing leopard tortoises out

    How closely should you watch the leos when they first go into their outdoor enclosures? Do they need to be shown where the sunny and shade spots are?

    Quarantine questions

    Could anyone recommend a care sheet or article that details how to properly quarantine new hatchlings before adding them to your current ones. Specifically how long and should they be in separate rooms within the house.

    Extra heat

    Would this be adequate for a 6’x3’ closed chamber enclosure. My CHE is not able to get the temperature up to 80F.

    New Indoor Enclosure **HELP**

    If one has the upper level would you consider that in your enclosure size requirements? For example if one has a 6’x4’ footprint with a 2’x4’ upper level is that the same as a 8’x4’ single level enclosure?

    Interesting Article: Scientists figure out why female turtles are born at higher temperatures

    As others have stated the climate has always changed in the past. However the rate of change was much slower which enabled the animals to evolve to succeed in the new climate conditions.
