Box Turtle Update.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
You have so spoiled turtles! Very nice enclosure! It looks like they eat well too. Keep up the god work!
 
Real nice but that high yellow one is super nice . You don't need a cover for the enclosure?

Would have thought racoons would be a problem.

PA has nice wild areas to cold for me lol but Spring/Summer there is fantastic.
 
it is :)

I'm afraid all my pets are spoiled. :grinno: And sometimes I think they eat better than I do.

So far so good. I've never had a problem with predators. That would have to be one hungry raccoon to make a meal of a box turtle.

There are some major predators out there, better to stay clear of them in case they want to go for your boxys:grinno:

Thanks, that's "Sparky". I named her that when I was 8 because of how colorful she was. She's an awesome turtle, super friendly and loves to come beg for food when she sees me.

I have a shallow tub of water for my turtles to bath in on hot days. But for drinking water I use a chicken water dispenser like the one in the below link. That way they always have clean water for drinking.
