Hi Terry,
Well, right now I have him in a cement mixing tub with a planter dish for soaking and drinking...I change the water daily. I will try other foods, like Kale or apples. He is still very small (2 inches) and I certainly don't want him to pyramid! Thanks for the info.
: Hi.
: try getting it to eat other foods, not just reptomin which is very high in protein.
: Try boiled chicken chopped into tiny pieces and mix in fruits/veggies.
: I would soak him daily as well as making sure that soaking water is always available.
: You can use a flat/shallow tupperware lid for baby turtles. ( easy to get in and out of).
: Or you can raise his enclosure ( if it's waterproof) slightly at one end, about an inch and fill the lower end with water.
: This will allow him to scuttle down and soak whenever he wants.
: Try and get him off his adiction to reptomin, mix in chopped apple and other fruits/veggies and greens.
: They might not pass a stool daily,but if you're worried, the soakings will help.
: My first hatchling 3 toed was also a bit adicted to reptomin and grew too quickly and even pyramided slightly.I had him indoors for the first couple of months.
: I now leave the hatchlings outdoors, they grow very slowly and eat anything. I've seen them munching on apple, papaya, bugs they hunt, anything.
: Terry.
