    Just wanted to mention that this was a temporary enclosure for these turtles. This enclosure is not quite ideal for box turtles long term. In this setup, I only had a heat bulb, they also need a UVB bulb. Also, box turtles are land turtles, so they should have more land, less water. I moved them to an outdoor enclosure, which is much better than this one. Here’s that video: ruclips.net/video/HQRsN5mdZvw/видео.html

    I have tons of babies all the time. Finally brought a clutch inside this winter and I cannot use mulch because the shards will get into their tiny eyes. The bigger ones they live out in the yard on their own and are totally capable. The babies also need a bath daily bowl/watering hole, like totally submerged will help their shells grow. They love to stick their head under the water and clean out their eyes daily and neck folds. I also give them earth worms and meal worms which I cut up to a pea-size because at that age they choke easily. They also need humidity, especially cuz of lamps. My guys got a humidifier cranking 24/7. Just advice for other baby turtle owners. My uncle happens to be one of the top recognized turtle and tortoise society's members in the US. Good luck!

    @earlburtz6690 4 года назад +1

    I applaud you for taking care of these little guys and happy you are moving them outside. The gravel setup inside was not the best thing for these guys as EBTs need deep loose soil to burrow in. Its their natural instinct. I grew up around them and have hatched tons of them over the years. Good luck and thanks for taking care of them as they are endangered and protected in many states.

    I found a baby box turtle 2 days ago just sitting in my yard...his shell is no bigger than a quarter! They are just all kinds of cute. I'm just worried about what to feed, as they are so small at this age. I read they should have a 90% protein diet at this age, and of course, don't forget to dust food with calcium. Good luck to you!

  • @virginia7125
    @virginia7125 3 года назад

    With the recent thunderstorms in Virginia, these guys are everywhere. I bought a $60 UVB bulb fixture so they won't get soft shell. I used a premium top soil with no added fertilizer. Gravel underneath. Covered with moss & oak tree leaves. I had a large triangular bowl where I once kept frogs. That's the swimming pool. They love cherry tomatoes. I cut them up some romaine lettuce. I think they'll do dubia cockroaches, giant mealworms, & night crawlers. I need to add a pine hollow log for cover. I also have a heat pad under the enclosure for small snakes under one corner. If you see anything wrong in my setup, let me know.

    Box turtles don’t need that much water at all. You could put mulch/dirt in the whole thing with a very shallow water dish that’s big enough for both of them to get in. And put like a snake hide in there that’s big enough for both of them. If you use thinner dirt they can burrow a lot better. That set up works tho, and looks good.! Just don’t want them to get shell rot from to much water.

He has three punctures on his tiny turtle skin fairly deep and filled with maggots 😢 ive been doin what is recommended from other turtle lovers but im tryin to make sure i do this entirely right being he is a baby and i cant get any assistance from wild life.

    hey, carson. i have a baby red-eared slider turtle & ive had her for almost 3 weeks. when i bought my turtle, she came with special hatchling food & it said to feed her twice a day with 4-6 pellets. for the first week or so, she only ate about 4 at a time & it took her awhile. now, she eats all 6 rather quickly & doesn’t seem full. i don’t want to over feed her because i know pellets have a lot of protein, but i also don’t want to under feed her either. is there any alternatives i can try? or what do you suggest? i hope you (or anyone who knows) can respond!thanks!!! also, LOVE your videos
