    rescue Boxie - what is next?

    Glad you saved the lil thing. Not sure what your temps are at during the night right now, but once is starts hitting 50 it’s hibernation time. That is unless you plan on not hibernating. I’ve been feeding my Ornates as much as they’ll eat so they got plenty of reserves ready for winter. The...

    Top four are a shy little male I helped off the road this morning. The bottom four are a little female I helped off the road about ten miles further down the road. I really enjoy helping these lil turts out of the road. I take pictures of every one and determine a sex. Been thinking about...

    I get some, but I’ve got Southern Leopard Frogs and woodhouses toads that naturally live in the turtle enclosure so don’t notice much. Maybe I’m lucky with my enclosure?

    Outdoor Enclosure - Food is Attracting Bugs, Ants and Mosquitoes !

    Have you tried live food? I typically leave food out till the next day for my boxies. I figure they eat carrion in the wild a 12hr old strawberry isn’t gonna hurt them. Most of the time there is no food left when I come back later.

    My Outdoor Ornate enclosure

    That’s all the plants we’re adding this year. The wife has her eyes on edible plants and a blueberry bush for when they come out of hibernation. They live in the open plains around here so don’t want to over crowd it with plants. We look at it as a ongoing project that can always use...
