I rehabbed a box turtle who had been in a closet for over a year. Soaked her in my kitchen sink. Gave her ringers lactate and finally she started eating night crawlers, What a relief that was. She became quite tame and was a dear.
Nice picture! Box turtles do love a good soak. A friend of mine even found one actually swimming in his pond one time. They’re not very good swimmers. It was mostly floating, but wasn’t in distress. It paddled around a while before climbing out and getting back to its normal routine.
