🐢 Faces of the Eastern Box Turtle 🐢 DID YOU KNOW? One of the most imperiled species we work with EVERY DAY at our wildlife center was once VERY common across the Eastern US.

#TwinTurtle update! Enjoy a nice bed of worm-and-raspberry salad with our famous Eastern Box Turtle patients! 🐢💚🐢 The Eastern Box Turtle twins who hatched out at our wildlife center this September are doing very well! As omnivores, Box Turtles will eagerly hunt down wiggling, crawling, or colorful prey. These tiny turts are no exception, and they are successfully chasing down isopods, earthworms, red wigglers, small Dubia roaches, and any other mini-sized creepy-crawlies they can get their be

Eastern Musk Turtles are small in stature, but BIG in personality and willingness to choose violence... And we honestly love them for that. 😇 Our most common turtle patient, the Eastern Box Turtle, tends to be much more docile due to its ability to "box up" completely and hide from danger.

Tiny turt update time! 🐢💕 The hatchling Eastern Musk Turtle (Sternotherus odoratus) who arrived on Halloween is doing very well! This tiny patient is overwintering in our care after a suspected predator dug up their nest, which we suspect they and their siblings were using to overwinter. Unlike Box Turtles, aquatic turtles have no saliva, meaning that they must be in water to swallow their food. This patient is placed into a separate tank (a small loaf pan) for each feeding, which happens twic
