I was told my little miss is very old. She is very picky and will only eat live food and cantaloupe or strawberries. She won't eat anything else, and if I add vitamins to it, she knows and will walk sway.
oh i recently watched a video that said it's a good idea to opaque the aquarium glass at turtle level, so they can see it and avoid bonking into it over and over
You should feed them once a day I had my baby for 33 years now. Good luck with your babies so cute 🥰
Mine is a very picky eater . I found him as adult month ago . He seems to only like live food so I withhold it from him to force him to eat the veggies however I got lucky as a few days ago i discovered that blueberries are so far his favorite . He can’t resist them and swallows them whole ! He loves the fat juicy grubs I dug up in my yard .
My year old eats nightcrawlers and romaine lettuce. She is very picky. I will have to try your method. Her favorite is nightcrawlers. If it's not moving she doesn't show much interest. I have tried different things and she won't touch it. I also use calcium with d3. She is doing great and had her since she was size of half dollar.
I soak before they feed. You have the most beautiful turtles. I can’t believe how the littles come to you to eat. The cutest. I have too many to have that kind of time.
my 3 toed box turtle (donatello) loves all the pacific northwest's slugs and snails,, and i keep a dandelion planted in his water dish for forage
Poop is not gross. It's a window into your pet's health as you mention. I gladly check it daily.
They are so cute. My box turtle Big mama she is the same color as your baby's i have 1 turtle i have to get big mama some crickets and turtle food she loves fruits and vegetables. She's my baby girl I have 1 daughter and 1 cat his name is Heyman he loves to stay outside so he's with the other cats i feed him and his friends 5 others I love them all i feed them everyday my other baby's cats 🙋♀️🐢👍👍God bless ya'll and many baby turtles
I wish my baby Ornates & 3 toeds came to me like that 😢
When my 2 turtles were wandering around the kitchen and found dog food that’s what they preferred besides vegetables and fruit
great video :D
That is a good idea though to put them in a plastic box to feed them
I do have a difficult time getting my 3 toed to eat veggies so I give her Vitamin A once a week. But I will definitely try it your way, maybe I'll have better luck.
If you're gonna use tap water you need to treat it.
Thank you. So you would say they eat once a week? I filled a whole plate for mine haha. I used the same canned food and she loved it for sure
Love your videos I'm looking for a box turtle do you have any your trying to rehome or sale
Box turtles can be put all together? I got 3 and I m afraid to put them all together one of them keeps getting on top of the other ones schell
Mine won't touch the canned food.
Recently found your channel when searching for Three-Toed information. I adopted a 12-year-old Three-Toed female, as well as a 12-year-old female Ornate, from someone who cold no longer care for her. In the 3 weeks they've been in my care, the Three-Toed hasn't been eating while the Ornate can't wait for chow time. Any suggestions on how to get my Three-Toed girl to get her appetite back?
