My box turtle won't eat. What Oxbow Critical Care and how to feed?

Question

Hi, What specific type of the Oxbow Critical Care formula would you suggest for a box turtle that is not eating? I see they have different types. Does that have to be given orally or could this be mixed with water in a container where you can soak the turtle so that she gets those nutrients. How many times per week would you use the formula? Thanks so much

You can use the Omnivore formula. Another similar product is Emeraid Intensive Care Omnivore. These dietary are typically fed via tube feeding if the will not eat willingly. If you've never tube feeding, have your veterinarian show you how to do this. Soaking her in either will do nothing. The amount fed and frequency will depend on her weight. You should also offer live prey (waxworms, mealworms, etc) as well as a variety of dark, leafy greens and fresh fruits and vegetables.
