Update: I have them in container with a bunch of containers of water next to them with a giant container on top of them to hold in humidity. Temps at 84 humidity at 70 and still rising. Looks okay so far!

So I recently acquired a Box Turtle that got hit by a car. She's in good shape and everything don't worry, she's doing a lot better! BUT today I found 2 eggs in her enclosure...I don't have an incubator or anything I am completely unprepared!! What do I do??

Thanks so much! I'm so excited to watch them grow up!

Alrighty sounds good. A minute ago I caught one of them munching on a bit of kale. It was super cute :D

2 of them actually!

Haha for sure! Now it's time to stock up on all the yummies they're gonna need! Any suggestions?

Yes, I absolutely did! The last two of Will's babies for sale.

Yup. This is real. This isn't a dream. Oh my gosh the babies!!

Ugh I'm so in love!! How does one even get a lovely Galapagos? Is it some type of super special permit?

I found it and read it. It both made me feel better and cry a bit. Thank you.

Rainbow Bridge?

She fought a hard battle my girl. But today her battle has ended. I know she's in a better place now where her kidneys aren't defective. Rest in peace Cupcake.

When they went through the necropsy the first thing they noticed was the kidneys looking abnormal. They ran some tests and found it dry as a bone. And inflamed signifying a kidney infection. At first that's all they thought it was, a horrible infection that the baby just couldn't fight off...

I'm hoping that if I continue giving her the medicine and up the soaks and just make everything as perfect as possible it just turns out to be an infection not a life affecting disease. I know it's wishful thinking but....its keeping me sane.

If anyone recalls, a long while back I posted about the death of my tortoise. Getting a necropsy done I found out that he had a hereditary kidney disease. There was little to nothing I could do to stop it in time. This led me to worry about the other tortoise I got from the same herd. Today, I...

Just be careful. Sometimes too much attention can cause stress.
