Hi Yall i got a pinkie for my Box turtle and it seems to be to cold for her to eat it today ... any one know a litte recipe for food for it

I Feed it a mix of milk, fishoil, peanut butter, yogart, mushed grits,and bird vitamins.

I have never fed a pinkie mouse but when I had rabbits or rats that needed to be nursed by hand I used the recipe given to me by the nature center for feeding bunnies. That was a can of evaporated milk with one egg yolk blended in. The other suggestion was kitten formula from a pet store or vet.

I would think that if it is a pinkie it would be too young for the solids.

Good luck,
Marcia

Yeppers i got some kitten milk, pediatric electrolytes, and a little jar of chicken and broth baby food. I got the electrolytes because the poor thing hadnt been peeing so im assuming its dehydrated.

Now its peeing and pooing regularly. And its eyes are starting to open.
