Re: Box Turtle Rescue
Bottom line: Do what is best for the box turtle. Not what Brently wants to do.
You saved a turtle from your dog. Fantastic. We're happy for you and there are plans underway to start burning your name on the surface of the moon. Now you have to ask yourself: what is best for the turtle?
I'm not going to tell you whether you should or shouldn't keep it. The "all wild animals should stay in the wild" debate is exhaustive. If you do keep it, you should make sure you do it right. I will tell you right now, box turtles are not easy to keep in glass tanks. They need SPACE.
One question: is this an adult boxie, or a juvenile? That can help with the diet question you had, as box turtles diet do change with maturity.
