  1. get him some baby food carrots.


  2. earthworms, nightcrawlers (make sure they are not

      raised on manure), redworms, mealworms (treat only, very fatty),

      whole feeder goldfish, snails, crickets,

      butter lettuce (wash well) or kale, melon and other fruit

      (find out what your turtle likes).

      Also try a little boiled egg, tofu, cooked yam, corn on the

      cob, tomatoes, chopped and steamed broccoli.

      Lots of green leafy vegetables!

  3. The three-striped box turtle is semi-aquatic. In the wild it is often seen in clear mountain streams. They enjoys wading and swimming, but also is known to walk about on land. A large vivarium with enough water for swimming should keep your turtle comfortable. It should offer a cool, shaded area and a warm area with a basking light. A full-spectrum light may have physical and psychological benefits for reptiles. Temperatures should range between 68 - 82 degrees F. This turtle will enjoy a large outdoor enclosure with a pond, if possible. It may be housed outdoors year round in subtropical areas. It can survive brief periods of fairly cold weather by becoming dormant. Breeding is more likely to be successful in a large outdoor environment, and occurs with the return of warm weather in the spring. Courtship and mating occur both in and out of the water, and males are quite aggressive. Diet is thought to be almost entirely carnivorous, however, they may also enjoy nibbling on some aquaric plants.. They are fond of fish guppies ,minows, small goldfish, worms, slugs, insects, crisckets crayfish, and baby mice anything that moves.. Occasional meals of canned dog or cat food are also acceptable for this carnivorous animal, and can provide a good medium for a vitamin suppliment with calcium. Toss in a bird cuttle bone in his tank for added calcium. If he nibbles and eats it thats fine,.if it just disolves in the water thats ok to.

  4. lettuce, carrots, apple, zucchini, and other fruits and veggies. Never give then cabbage though, it makes them have gas and it backs up in them and can kill them.
