Eastern box turtles are sick, often with peeling and obesity. Next, let's talk about how to deal with it.

For peeling problems. Usually caused by a lack of vitamin A. The disease occurs in larvae and eastern box turtles just waking up from hibernation. If caught early, vitamin A supplementation usually resolves the problem. In severe cases, vitamin A should be injected. But the best way is prevention, which is best prevented by providing a balanced diet and proper vitamin supplementation.

For obesity. Obesity can lead to respiratory, cardiovascular, kidney and liver problems in eastern box turtles, so eat well.
