Sadly, the Eastern Box Turtle that showed up in our yard about a month ago has passed away. She had been lethargic for the past week or so--no longer interested in blueberries and spending all of her time in the pond. Today DH took her out of the pond and put her on the side of it and she barely moved. When he came home at lunch, she was dead. She is now buried in our yard.
Unfortunately, this past weekend when DH took the dogs for a walk in a neighboring woods, he found another turtle in a stream there. For some reason, he thought it would be fun to bring it home (I guess to see if the 2 turtles would interact!). So, he put the turtle on the ground near the pond and we haven't seen it since (actually, I never saw it). He now realizes that it was a dumb thing to do and wants to return it to the stream, but we have no idea where it is. I hope it is surviving this heat. Men!
