Hello there!! I just got 3 turtles from a cousin who couldn't keep them do to losing her home. I have never had turtles before. I was told by my cousin that they are Box turtles. But upon going from site to site tonight I have found that there are so many different breeds of box turtles. I am starting to get a little leary of having them with all the posts about them being outdoor turtles. The only think I have for them to live in is a 10 gallon tank. but I am seeing that it is a little small for the 3 of them. But it's all I can keep them in They had been living in a tank the same size for the whole time that my Cousin had them and she's had them for MANY years! I would love to beable to do what I can to give them what is more suitable to what they need. I am so full of questions like how can I tell what kinda of box turtle is each? how often should I feed them? what about their vitamin/calicum powder? how often do I need to give them that? will letting them play in the bathtub with a little bit of water for a few hours hurt them? What's some good foods to feed them? should I get them a heat lamp? I just have so many thing to learn!!!! I sure hope someone on here can help me!!
