So I rescued a turtle with both her front legs, one of back legs is missing a foot, the other leg is completely gone. I built her an enclosure and she seems to love it, but I think she may be gravid? She hasn’t been eating the last few days. Thursday she stayed in her water all day, Friday she did the same. Saturday she was wondering around everywhere but I haven’t noticed her digging. The ground is hard where i have her so today i used a shovel to make it soft. I got her some eco earth and put over the normal (now softened dirt), also got some sphagnum moss on the other side of her enclosure. I left a corner normal with grass and hard dirt. I gave her a warm soak last night and tonight. I have a box almost ready with sand in it, just need to add some eco earth and soil to it, in case i need to put her in to lay her eggs. Idk if I should put her in that or just see if she’ll lay them in the enclosure? Is she actually gravid or is something else wrong? I am new to this, but I’ve been doing a lot of research and trying to learn more. Someone please help.enclosure with new dirt pic at night but can post another in morningenclosure before new dirtday i got her (june 2 2021)
