Answer #1

I didnt keep him. :(

Answer #2

Depending on the part of the country you live in owning a wild turtle is illegal. Box turles are not very good pets. The have a limited territory and do not do well if removed. I personally own a Russian Dessert Tortoise. They are affectionite, intelligent creatures that enjoy wandering around the house. You do realize that turtles are very long lived creatures (similiar to parrots) and will need YEARS of care?

Answer #3

You ‘found’ it? Where?

I hope you didn’t take it from it’s own environment.

The food it requires depends on the type of turtle it is. Some eat seafood, and others are herbivores. You’ll need some pellets from the pet store.

Answer #4

depends on what type of turtle it is, and remember turtles carry salmonella, so best to leave it where you found it
