Asked by Wiki User
Box turtles are omnivores. They will eat almost anything, but just because they like it does not mean they should have it. A good rule of thumb when feeding box turtles is to give them only the kinds of things they would find in the wild. They may enjoy dairy products but they are not part of a turtle's natural diet.

How do you safely mark a box turtle for release?
Asked by Wiki User
Captive turtles should not be released into the wild. Not only are they unaccustomed to finding food for themselves, they can also get sick from being exposed to germs that wild turtles carry, or, they can spread their own germs to the wild turtles, and kill off the wild population.
Try putting an ad in the paper, or in local pet shops, advertising that your turtle is up for adoption. You can also try contacting local zoos; some of them have petting zoos or zoo classes for children which they need turtles for.

Can a box turtle die if the shell at the bottom is cracked?
Asked by Wiki User
A turtle's shell is made up of bone and is part of its skeleton. If the shell were cracked, it would be similar to a human having a whole bunch of broken ribs, or worse. It would expose the turtle to infection, as well, because the bone is outside the body. It would be horribly painful, a major vulnerability, and take a long time to heal if it was survivable. Whether the turtle would survive would probably depend on how bad the injury was.
If you see a turtle with an injury, try to find a wildlife rehabilitation facility. A veterinarian can give the turtle treatment for the injured shell, allowing it to heal properly, similar to a cast for a broken bone.
