Thank You Lisa

Now that the 3 week old EBT's have the worm and meal worms down really well, I've been trying to introduce vegetables into heir diet, not easy!!! I've tried pellets that I mashed with worm pieces on it and they just dig through the mash looking for worms. I do have a couple questions, I was...

At 2 weeks old the little ones are really enjoying their worms. They are pretty much eating them at every feeding but tonight all 5 babies were able to finish off about 4 angle worms, cut up in little pieces. I like to feed them in their soaking tub with warm water (as suggested by you guys)...

Thank you. I've learned so much from reading through this forum, so informative!!!! The little ones are doing great, eating angle worms and meal worms. Going to be ordering black worms this week, they should love them.

Thank You

I hope so!! I have one maybe two who are brave and want to explore. The others are hiders LOL

Thanks Grandpa Turtle!!! Just a fun update!!! I just watched one of my little ones eat his first worm, now hopefully the others will follow!!!!

I just caught one eating a worm!!! Yah I'm so happy for him. The best part about it was that he hunted the worm by himself. Earlier I went out and dug up a bunch of angle worms (they only get about 2 inches long) and spread them throughout their home. Just went down to check on them and look...

Many Thanks!!! I've been researching like crazy but you really don't start learning until it's hands on. I'm learning more and more each day. Since they've been dug-in since yesterday I decided to turn off the UVB light and see what happens. Well 2 decided to come out and then finally they are...

Hello Everyone, My name is Matt and I live in Maryland. Back on June 10'th my dog led me to a Boxie laying her eggs in the backyard (one acre fenced in yard for the dogs). Since I didn't want the dogs to get to the eggs, because they caught her in the act, I built an enclosure around the eggs...

Thank You. I was just looking and they do still have a yolk sac, it's small but it's there. I went ahead and turned off the UVB bulb to see what would happen, and 2 came out and are now roaming YAH!!!! Now if the other 3 would come out that would be awesome!!!!

Thanks Everyone. We have a bunch of these beautiful box turtles roaming around, and I love seeing them. I helped 2 move across the road this year, as well as a painted turtle. Now for these little ones, I'm just waiting for them to start eating. This will be a huge step for me. I'm used to...

Here is a pic of Momma after layer her eggs, when my dog pointed her out to me.

Thanks terryo!!!! You're so right, 4 already dug down and are out of sight. I do have one brave one who likes to explore. I've been trying to work with the temps all day and I had to close it in to get the temps up. Before the enclosure the temps were about 72 degrees, I want it to get up to 80...

Thank You Yvonne!!!!

That's great news, thank you.

New at turtles, and I want to make sure these little guys survive. A little background about these little guys. 94 days ago my dog brought my attention to a female box turtle laying her eggs in my yard. To keep the dogs from digging up the eggs, I built an enclosure to protect them. 94 days...
