Terrible news

Dribble is gone!

The other day, a little boy from down the street brought a turtle to live with Dribble. It was a girl turtle probably around 4 years old (She was a little bigger than Dribble). He had named her Woody because he found her in the woods.

Ok, this morning I went to fee them as usual but they were missing. My mom and I dugged and dugged and found nothing. We thought that maybe they had dug a hole. There is no way that they could have gotten out by themselves so we are wondering if someone stole them. But who would do that????

Mikey and I have been searching all day for them. I am not losing hope. Maybe they are not far away. Jacob is going to help me make posters.

If anyone reads this and knows what could have happened to them, please let me know or leave a comment.

Lilly's Egg

You are not going to believe this!!!! On Friday, June 12th, Lilly laid an egg in the outdoor turtle pen. I hope this turtle will live. My only worry is that the dirt is too moist. But I do not feel like I should move the egg. I can't wait until the egg hatches. I have named the turtle Myrtle. I will keep you informed on the progess of the egg.

Lilly, the Eastern Box Turtle

One of my three turtles that I caught and then released into the wild came back last Wednesday evening. I had a feeling that it was pregnant because her tail was swollen where the eggs come out. She was also acting different. I put her in the outdoor turtle pen for a couple of days. I do not keep big turtles for very long.

UpDated information on Emerald

Since I have posted last, there have been so many changes. Emerald died four days after I got him. I told Mikey and Lacey. We were all very sad. I wonder if he was sick when Lacey caught him and that is why it was easy to get him. I hope that his last days were good at my home.
