Hello! I rescued another Three Toed box turtle a few days ago who is around one year old. She(?) looks like she is a bit underweight and has slightly swollen eyes to me. I’m thinking her diet was definitely lacking in some areas. All I know about her past from the previous owners is she was an impulse purchase as a hatchling from a local reptile store, they already had too many other kinds of pets and no longer were able to provide care so were going to give her to some research center or something until I stepped in and offered to take her. She is very sweet and comfortable being handled, so far eating fairly well for me (will eat worms, super worms, Mazuri pellets, and first day had some of my “mash” which consists of a good mix of things including fruits and veggies). I would just like opinions on what people think is potentially going on with her. Obviously from here on out she will receive proper care now with correct temps, light, humidity and diet but I’m just wondering if there’s anything I need to focus on? Thanks!
