Jake came to our house last night, a gift from Grandpa Ken- thanks!
We tried to feed him, but he wasn't very hungry. He may still be in hibernation, at least appetite-wise. Turtles aren't supposed to come out for air until late spring.
Here's what we tried: spinach, a dandelion leaf, celery, a piece of apple, a small worm, and a box-elder bug. And we gave him a new, bigger water dish so he could sit in it.
He was a little big for the old dish...
Everyone was interested in what Jake was doing today- his toenails were so long, we could hear him every time he moved!
We took him to a vet in the afternoon to ask some questions- found out he's 3-5 years old, and male (due to long nails and tail)...gave us an idea of what we'd need to buy to take care of him: aquarium and fixings, heat lamp, food.
Lucy is better, but had a recovery day on the couch.
Gene typed a letter (compete with pictures) to Uncle Garrett.
And Jane went running with Brendan after dinner...
