At best the regulation you speak of is a cursory one. Any Vet will confirm that of which I speak. But this is not the issue. It doesn't matter.



There is no issue with pinkies as I have posted them as a box turtle food source before you ever were a member on this forum Anyone can check that via the archives.



The real issue which you are trying to avoid regardless of regulation is stating that dog food is a recommended food for frail, sick box turtles.



In many, many posts- knowledgeable posters (some that you know very well on this forum) that were here long before you- state; '"Dog food is not an appropriate food for boxies." That has been the stable advice from most serious experienced box turtle enthusiasts.



And I still agree with the statement." Dog food is an inappropriate food for boxies..."



I'm not here to argue with you.... I'm just concerned about the health of box turtles.



If you're sticking with advising dog food for sick, frail boxies- fine... I disagree.



You disagree. At least we can both agree to a right to disagree. End of thread



This just isn't worth it.
