Turbo finally ate! I am so relieved! I am waiting on a lot of stuff to arrive this week to put in her enclosure to make her more comfortable, hoping that soon she’ll claim it as her own and we can get into a routine.
Finally got a good picture of her! Right now I am a bit concerned as she has still not eaten. I have offered lettuce, cucumber, carrots, bell peppers, she hasn’t touched any of them. I also haven’t seen her poop at all. She has drank a little bit of water. She is also still trying to climb up...
