Box turtles - feeding time :)

[chadk]

Stella and Vinny wanted to show off some pics of their favorite treats.

Stella LOVES her slugs which we in western WA have PLENTY of... Along with snails and other yummy gooey goodness....

Vinny is a huge fan of his monthly canned cat food treat. But pics say so much more than words...

Ummm, Vinny.... you got a little 'nom' on your nose there...

Here is there current pen. They'll be moved soon to a bigger long term pen. But this has worked great so far...

And for extra credit - how many boxies can you count?

Okay, I like this "how many boxies" game - when will it be over so we can know the answer?

I just love little box turtles~ They have such personality.

(I can only see the eastern in the lower left side of the pond. And the disturbance on the surface of the water MIGHT be another, but I really don't see it.)

Oh, wait!! I see a three-toe in the front towards the bottom of the picture!

I have all 4 of them in there now. You'll see one at 9 o'clock, 11 o'clock, 2 o'clock, and 6 o'clock.

Are they completely submerged? I didn't know they did that?
NA

The second pic looks like the boxie is relly enjoying it's food. Is that dog food?

The 2 males really like swimming and yes, they'll dive down to the bottom.
