One of my female Three-Toed box turtles has been acting a bit odd. She was the last one up from hibernation, a few weeks ago, and a couple of times this week when I put her in a small bin in water to

Hi, Everyone, All my turtles are up except for one. How is everyone else doing? The littlest babies ... hatched the first week of Sept., so they are seven months old already ... seems like just yester

We finally had some precipitation today ... after two long months of dry weather 😛 blah .... precip. in the form of first, ten minutes of hail, then it turned into snow. It snowed for almost two hours

This is wonderfully helpful! Thank you, Laura! Little Malachi sounds like he has a great sense of humor, to enjoy the slide so much! Mary Rose

I have now finally seen four out of five September babies eating .... just one little holdout. Still alive but I don't know what to do ... everyone else is eating. I have to assume that it sneaks in a

The three yearlings had their first year Hatchday (birthday) last week. I brought them inside for the winter but they are really cramped and going nuts in the little space they are in. There's not muc

As some of you already know that last year I found Shelly, an Ornate box turtle. She has been doing really well and I have enjoyed caring for her. She is no longer shy and hiding all the time. She lov

So, Malachi is a small ornate box turtle that we took into our home in Sept of 2020. Our Vet called and asked if we'd be willing to "foster" him. When his owners brought him in, let's just say that my

Does this list accept images attached to emails? I just wanted to share the story of our little rescue Malachi but to also share pictures of him with everyone. Blessings, Laura Mowrey Jesus Girl ❤️ T-

On the plus side, at the nursery I learned how many different kinds of mint plants there are! 😂 .... even if the rats don't appreciate it. Laura, your turtle set-up sounds wonderful!

I went out to check on the turtles about 6:30 p.m. this evening (it's dark by 7:30 now) and there was a big rat which I evidently startled, and it was "flying" from stall to stall in the turtle barn!

Thanks, Melody! It's ironic - I used to pull out mint by the handfuls for years (left over from previous owner), and now I had to go and pay good money for some! 😂 I do have a small bottle of peppermi

I may just do that. Thanks, Tess. The 3 "old" babies (hatched October 19) are outside and the 5 new little ones (hatched two weeks ago) are on my kitchen counter. I'm sure the three Old babies won't m

I posted about a turtle that had laid eggs in our yard 100 days ago. I had been watching the nest site and had suspected that a mole got to the nest. I dug up the nest this evening and found that ther
