Hello from Central Valley, California! My name is Gabby and I am a college student.
Recently became a proud owner of a three toed, male box turtle named Oliver:)
Olive was found in the middle of a busy road and living in the central valley, especially in this drought a stray animal will not live long without being rescued. Olive now lives in a very large enclosure we build for him in the backyard. He loves wadding in his pool and eating bananas. :)
Oliver's shell is not in the best condition. We have taken him to several pet stores and to a turtle rescue and all have said his shell might have been attacked by a dog but his wounds are old and his scares have thankfully and successfully healed.
I would love for anyone and everyone to give me advice and lots of tips on how to keep Oliver as happy and healthy as can be, as I am a first time turtle owner.
