Guess what, you guys?? I emailed the wildlife rescue center to get an update on the little box turtle we originally brought home from the wild, and then took in to the rescue center because she had some shell damage. Here is their reply: Thank you for checking on the female box turtle brought...

Thank you!! I'll change it out asap.

He's a 3-toed box turtle. I was told the spaghnum moss was good for cover...but maybe bark would be better? I have some orchid bark I could use. Or I could just use some leaves. I spray the moss a couple times a day, and it seems to help keep the humidity up.

Ha ha...false alarm!! Groot is finally eating!!! I realized, reading that other post, that I wasn't feeding him in his home...I was feeding him after soaking him, and if he's nervous and doesn't want us watching him, or he's stressed from all the newness, that could be contributing. So I put...

:oops::( I'm so so sorry!! I'm so glad you have Bubba to keep you company!!

Could I put a heating pad under his enclosure? That's the only thing I can think of to raise the temp right now, until the bulb comes. The left half is actually covered with the lid to the container, though...only the right half is uncovered. And the moss is a lot more messed up now from him...

So baby Groot Elliott (ha ha...the girls named him Elliott at first, and then decided they liked Groot, so changed it and are calling him Groot, but kept Elliott as a middle name! ;)) has been here since Tuesday (Saturday now), and is about 3 weeks old. He is still showing absolutely NO interest...

Aww, I'm so sorry about the 4 you lost. Praying the one makes it!! ❤

So pretty!!!!

Omgosh, soooo cute!!!! I can hardly see my baby's eyes! He is adorable!!

Oh good, because I definitely do not have a green thumb when it comes to plants! Do regular home & garden stores carry these?

Okay, I covered it in soaked sphagnum moss. Humidity's up to 65%. He's having a little soak right now. He seems a bit overwhelmed! But he's slowly showing interest in his new home. Oh yay!! He made it out of the water dish!! He's now buried himself in moss! Good call!!

Okay, this is what I have right now, plus a separate light with a full spectrum bulb. The substrate is a mixture of organic top soil, coco coir, and spaghum moss, and I wet it all down thoroughly. The humidity is at 62% now...is that okay? I was thinking about putting some wrigglers right in the...

He's 2 weeks old.

Is it normal for him to not be interested in eating at first? I have some small red wrigglers for him, but he doesn't seem at all interested.

well, we had set up a home for the other one, but the things in it are a bit big, I think, for this little guy, so it's going to need some modifications until he's a little bigger. For now I just have him in a big plastic container with wet paper towels until we get it sorted.

No name yet...my girls are thinking it over!!

He's here!!!!! And he's so tiny and cute!!! Oh my gosh!!

Thank you! I found a 2-week old at another place for a bit less. Ships tomorrow. Can't wait!!

Oh my, I'm so sorry!!! What an absolutely terrible experience to have to go through! I got attached to this girl in a week and am already missing her after dropping her off, so I can only imagine your grief after going through all of that! I realize it's been a couple years, but still, how...
