It sounds like you have your very own organic pest control team! I wish I could persuade my mom to have a turtle in her backyard - she complains about the snails and slugs.

I love these posts- i can live vicariously through your turtle ownership. I would LOVE to be able to have yard turtles and tortoises but, alas, MN Winters prohibit that from ever happening (and i need more in-home pets like i need a kick in the teeth)

Keep em coming!

The chickens and duck love snails and slugs, too. They will fight over them!

Terry: All of the box turtles eat snails! They act like they are caviar…..

Mine won’t eat snails and slugs- I’d never have to buy worms for them again if they’d just eat these things! They do love bananas.

I love the turtle updates! Other than moving them out of the road(and sometimes from the dog’s mouth) I haven’t had much interaction with them. I didn’t realize how much they would interact with people.

I’m glad Old Man Turtle is feeling safe and I hope Onyx keeps getting smoother for a long time.

I love these posts! Keep the coming. I am not the only chick in the world who stares at turtles more than TV. good to know.
