    Thoughts on superworms...

    Thank you for the information. I change Groot's protein every couple weeks. So he will never be fed only superworms. I also dust his crickets in calcium powder and he has 24/7 access to cuttlebone.

    Thoughts on superworms...

    So I have a small colony of pill (sow) bugs that I feed raw baby carrots to. Is this considered gut loading?

    New Tortoise Owner Help!

    THANK YOU! I thought my Groot enjoyed it but when I posted a video elsewhere people said he was freaking out. But he had a rock to climb and rest on. I'd put him on it and he'd go right off and continue to swim around the sides of sink Also I never leave him unattended in the sink.

    I'm sorry but what are you gut feeding them with? I've never heard those names.

    Thoughts on superworms...

    This is my fierce, yet so loving one year old Groot. I try to give Groot variety. Today he had large crickets, he loves to chase them down and munch on them, he also had a small piece of apple. I also do pill bugs, mealworms, earthworms, cooked chicken and cooked ground turkey. I also offer hard...

    New pictures of my 8 month old baby

    Here are some new pictures of my Groot. I love her so much, or at least I think she's a female. Does anyone else only have 1 turtle? Do they need a mate?

    How much should I be feeding my 8 month old boxy?

    Hi from Groot's mom, i know it's been a few months... So we rescued Groot days after she hatched and were able to over winter her well in her indoor enclosure we made. Woohoo for us being first time turtle parents! Groot is now 8 months old and is thriving. She only ate earthworms up to about...

    Groot is now about 6 weeks old!!

    I cannot believe how well she's doing. We did move her to an aquarium, added cypress mulch to half of the dirt and added more bark pieces. She is now eating on a daily basis, earthworms we cut up and pellet pieces. I bought a cuttlebone for calcium, i'm unsure if she has chewed on it at all...

    Need to share Groot's cuteness!

    What is the optimal temperature and humidity level? We mist it at least 3 times a day and she has an area with water she can swim in. I want to make sure I'm doing the best I can.

    Calcium powder, what kind is best?

    I have a 5 week old eastern box turtle and I know I need to start adding calcium powder to her diet. What kind do you use? Do I get it with vitamin d added or not? Anything I should avoid?

    Is my baby Groot alright?

    I had the same problem but then I put my ickiness aside and diced up earthworms from a bait shop. She loves them. She'll also eat a couple t-rex pellets from time to time.

    Need to share Groot's cuteness!

    I'm a first time turtle mom and I never imagined I could love this quarter sized creature so very much. Groot is eating earth worms every other day, LOVES her soak time and I swear she looks at us when we talk to her. Today this is how she fell asleep and she's been sleeping like this for...

    Is my baby Groot alright?

    OK so we've had Groot for 3 weeks today. She did not eat anything until day 18 and her food of choice was cut up earth worms. She ate an entire worm for 2 days in a row and 2 t-rex pellets. But yesterday and today she has not eaten anything. She was walking around a lot yesterday and when I...
