i suppose i should focus on getting her fixed first... the vet said that except for the eye, she should heal fine... all the bite marks were superficial and none of the shell was shattered.. she actually ate today, which amazed me since every other time i have aquired a boxie, they have been quite stubborn about feeding.. this is day 3 that ive had her, and shes wild caught, but she ate about 6 wax worms, 3 earthworms and some strawberries... i did notice that when the worms left her line of sight, she completely lost track of them... she didnt turn her head to find them or anything... just moved on to the next one.. shes going back to see the vet in a week to make sure the eye (or lack of) is healing properly.. ive basically decided not to make a decision at this point..

i will keep both of those offers of possible homes for her in mind, if you want to, send me your email addresses and if i decide not to keep her or release her ill get in touch..

thank you all for your advice..
