Well I definitely don't want her to be miserable, nor cause harm, but we're not going to be back in the area where we got her from any time in the near future. So do you suggest we just release her into another wooded area?
Also, I'm for sure going to have to find a captive-bred boxie, because my girls have grown quite attached to her.
Important to know what shell damage there is and to provide medical diagnosis by a wildlife rehabber or vet. A rehabber will not charge for services. There might also be internal injury as well. Releasing the injured juvenile is maybe not an option at this time. As we head into the fall, these turtles bromate (hibernate) and the injured turtle will not make through the winter.
