I have a few wishes right now. First, I hope Oxley will live a long life. Second, I hope he doesn't get loose in the house. And third, I hope he doesn't grow up to be a snapping turtle!
The Thing I Have Been Wondering

It has been a rough year. That is no lie. We have had one challenge after
another, and if this were a dark comedy one would recognize that it has
been fun...

It is your lucky day Heather!!! I happen to be a turtle expert...Oxley is a Red-eared slider, not a snapper. That is the good news..also he will live a VERY long life. That may be the not-so-good news. Turtles do not die of natural causes.. I have 2, one like Oxley and a painted turtle. They started out this size, now are about 6 and 8 inches in diameter. AND they stink. Email me if you have any turtle related questions.
PS-Do you have any maternity clothes you want to loan out???

Marci- I thought of you and your love of turtles when we took this little guy in. What do your turtles eat and how fast did they grow? Glad I know a turtle expert!
they like ham and especially roast beef, little bites. hold it down in water, they have to eat underwater. they have grown around 3/4 inch per year or so...thats a guesstimate. the turtle food will work later, but it is probably too hard and definately too big for him right now. crush it, that might work
