Thank you for your past answers to my questions...I have a few more.
First of all I'm trying to figure out the best way to use this forum. If I have questions regarding box turtles, is there a forum subset for those topics, and if so, how do I get there?
Ok turtle questions
1) I feel bad pulling the turtle out when she's burrowed down in the substrate...seems this would be like rousting someone out of a deep sleep in the middle of a dream. But, if I want to give her a soak, or have some fresh worms, what is the alternative?
2) I bought Eco Earth for the substrate....it seemed powdery and dry so I mixed in some Jungle mix which is a mix of ground up fir and the coconut coir, I believe. My concern is it seems to have some fine sticks and sharply pointed debris in the mix...seems it could poke an eye when shes burrowing.
3) just curious...perhaps personality.. perhaps species..how do the different types of turtles and tortoises compare in terms of activity levels (I'm sure temperature plays a big role as well)
