We have some fun news we’ve been waiting to share to make sure they were well established. Did you know box turtles can retain sperm for up to 4 years? The female rescues laid clutches i didn’t know about in their outdoor home. Welcome to the world little ones! They are doing phenomenal.
Fun fact, there’s two mothers! And we don’t even own the fathers! We have 3 hatchling ornate box turtles and one 3 toed box turtle. We presume the ornates are older as they can hatch and then burmate until proper weather conditions encourages them to come up. Jackie was laid in hard dirt and couldn’t dig out. She’s my little miracle. I actually removed her from her egg!(yolk was already absorbed.)
We’re so excited to share their lives with you.
They can lay clutches ranging from 1-11 eggs approximately.
Peppers vet visit two days ago. She is very constipated
Minnie’s appointment went better than expected. X-rays show the left from arm is more affected by the MBD than the rest of the body. With proper diet and calcium and uvb she should start growing and strengthening herself.
BELLONA UPDATE- we went into our vet for a possible body cavity injection but he told us that those do not come without risk. He was so impressed by her improvement from sub Q fluids and syringe feeding that he wants me to just continue the fluids under the skin. He believes she should make a full recovery. She has also begun panacur, a dewormer, since this is all parasite related.
GORBAX UPDATE- i diagnosed him pretty spot on. Gorbax does NOT have ADV and he was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy, MBD, and a moderate respiratory infection. He has started the antibiotics already. He will continue on serrapaste and CBD for the dystrophy. Doc believes he’ll have a good life.
