ermm.... a very weird thing just happened.....
On my way to see the chickens, i found a box turtle, trying to eat some of there carrots. The weird thing is, he is way far away from the creek and the woods, and he is almost dried up. I just put him in a 2x1 foot plastic container with a centimeter or two of water. He definitely looks confused, and i think i might keep him as a pet, but the problem is that i don't have much experience with adult box turtles, can any of you guys help? I was gonna set him back free, but i decided it might help him allot more if i feed him and let him get better, and his shell is about 14 centimeters long down the middle. Any body can help me, please? And i actually don't know the gender, im just gonna say its a he for now..... I need to know what they eat first...
also, i need to give it a name, i always name all the animals, even the wild ones XD any suggestions?
