i have two turtles, one res-isabelle-born in july of 2004, and one box turtle(i think)-emmy-i think born in spring of 2003. they both play well and seem happy. isabelle eats once a day-i tried feeding her twice a day, but she only eats once. i give her reptile sticks-she eats almost 2-in a bowl with about a half inch of water in it. i'm more worried about the fact that she's still the size of a quarter. she has a ten gallon tank, 3/4 water with a big thing in it she can climb on if she wants out of the water(no, i don't know she's a girl lol). emmy is offered food every day, i can only get her to eat lettuce and limited fruits. she is picky(or spoiled-you choose)-she has her apple slices peeled before she'll eat them. i know she's a box turtle-not a slider, but i was hoping you might have some advice anyway. she's been like this since i got her. she won't eat pellets or the mixtures the turtle troubleshooters suggested. she just snubs it all. thanks for any suggestions in advance=)
