Christmas Present

[Maggie Cummings]

I got 3 box turtles as well as a 3 month old devil kitten. But here's the box turtles...I have 2 Easterns who have barely lost their egg tooth, and a yearling 3-toed. One of the hatchlings has a hole where his bottom jaw should be. It seems he can't bite, but I've been giving him smashed bananas, and pumpkin. He licks it just like a dog. I'm not sure he'll make it, but I'm trying my hardest. Here's some pix...
And a pix of my fish I've been treating for 8 days...I am so grateful to the person who said my fish had septicemia. He was so right and I caught it early enough that the fish stands a chance...And my bird who got cannibalized by 4 other parakeets....trouble trouble boil and bubble.....

I hope the little turtle makes it. Canon eat a worm? probably not I guess. Maybe you could purée his food, that way he could kind of slurp up the protein. but if you purée worms I'm not eating at your house if you prepare anything from a blender i'm sorry about all the trouble with your critters lately.

Glad to see you posting again. Make sure you take good care of my 3 toed for me.

Gosh, Maggie...you've had a spate of trouble lately. So sorry! Try adding a bit of mushed up canned cat food to your baby's bananas for the animal protein. Little box turtles are fighters. As long as he's trying, he's going to make it.

Well merry Christmas. He liked crickets when he was here. He should pull through. Especially in your care.

Seems you have had enough bad stuff, so here's hoping for the start of all good things for you and your critters.

To me, it looks like one of the bigger turtles bit of his lower beak.

Well, looks to me that you have your hands full. Those animals couldn't be in a better place. Here's hoping for great recovery for all of them and a break and some relaxation for you in the coming year.

Poor babies! I'm thinking if anyone can handle these issues, it's you!
Looks like your hands are full.
Good Luck!
