Tina - 2012-08-05 We just purchased a 3 year old box turtle. I believe she is a 3 toed turtle (Arkansas) The couple I purchased her from did not know the species. She is trying to hibernate and keeps trying to hide in and under the dirt. I am learning to care for her via the intranet. She is eating pellets that came with her and occasionally I put fruit or lettuce. Anyone with suggestions please let me know. I was wondering if I use tap water is that dangerous for her health?

Charlie Roche - 2012-08-05 Just scroll up in this Animal World article for the various foods for your fella. If the tap water is OK for you, should be fine for the turtle. If it is city water - it is already tested. If it is well water, you can have it tested if you wish.
Julie - 2012-10-05 It is important for three toed box turtles to also have worms or crickets. Red worms or grubs work fine. You can even buy worms at most Walmarts in the fishing dept. They also love strawberry's, watermelon & leafy greens. Fruits should be in moderation. They also like a humidity & should be provided a wading pool . Good luck!
mike crash - 2011-09-20 i am looking for a female three toed box turtle as a mate for "maverick" also looking for a male eastern box for the same perpose.
Clayton F - 2010-10-16 I have a three-toed box turtle who when we purchased was said to be bearing eggs she is very large at the rear and is not overfed we have had her for 2-3 months and nothing does she need to go through a hibernation stage or is it best to keep on keepen on? I would appreciate any help. Thanks

The Three-toed Box Turtle is just that, an eastern box turtle that almost always has just three toes on its hind feet!
