katelyn0974 said:Thank you all. Is it possible to give baby boxies too much calcium? I am having some difficulty getting my babies to eat veggies and fruits. They will only eat fly's and worms. Any suggestions to help them transition? I know as babies they are carnivorous. Thanks for any feedback. This is a picture of them feeding.

Saloli said:I've used zoomed natural hatchling pellets (the kind for sliders which are also primarily carnivores as hatchlings) and small ghost shrimp might work (which you can feed fish food which is fortified prior to feeding) though I have yet to try this I've used live blood worms (the maggot type used as fish food not the polychaetes used in marine fishing).

katelyn0974 said:Hello everybody! It's an exciting day for me. I just got my two new baby eastern boxies today. This is there new home. I have coco soft for their bedding. Both females. Ones name is Shelly and I have yet to name the other one. The other one is very active! I would love any information on caring for a boxie you feel is important, or even a fun fact. Name suggestions and any info would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks! Have a great day!

I'm super excited to see them grow. I feed three gut loaded meal worms to them everyday. Is that too much or too little? I also offer carrots and dig up bugs for them to eat occasionally along with flies. Two soaks a day in a shaded part of my yard with some sun exposure.
