My opinion is: turtles and tortoises that evolved on different continents from each other should never be housed together (not to mention that the sulcata's bulldozer-like marching, even when a baby, may harm the more fragile baby box turtle).

Hi, I am not sure what happen? I realized my box turtle's tail bent a bit and was bleeding when I fed her (banana, kiwi, cooked chicken) this morning, and she's not eating.

anything I can do to help her? Please help...

i am unable to see the second pic, which is of the tail. Could an animal have gotten in and hurt the turtle?

keep it clean ,put a topical antibiotic on it ……that's really not serious , i'd wonder how it happened ?….. doesn't look like much more than skin holding it on ? if so i'd probably snip it off …………. I would alter her diet , think they got a link to feeding box turtles on here………..
