Hello all,
We have had our little Broom Hilda for three weeks now and I still can't figure out what type of turtle she is and additionally I think we might have some shell rot and she stays burrowed All the time!
Honestly I can't tell if her shell is supposed to be black like a Bog turtle because there are some orange and yellow markings like a CA Wood turtle. Any ideas?
Additionally she eats great (mostly crickets, some lettuces and carrots), she swims around a bit in the water area of her enclosure, but mostly she just burrows down and stays there. At least 20-22 hours of the day. I worry about her dehydrating so I soak her for an hour or so every other day.
This can't be normal. I would really love some help.
