    From now on, whenever I am cold (Me 24:7) I'm going to describe myself as being "boxed up" cos Rooster is exactly how I look. 😂

    Hello! My name is Savva and I’m a big turtle fan and lover. Your Rooster is soo incredible, he looks really like a dinosaur.(By the colour of its eyes, it’s a male). I must confess that I’m an owner of my red-eared slider turtle whose name is Ivetta. She’s is a ferocious predator and she lives in a big pond of my residence. I’m also an overprotective father(father because I’m a 15 year old boy) and I live in the South of the France. However, winter is cold but without snow and it’s November, so it means cold is coming. Fortunately, Ivetta have hunted and eaten enough during the spring, summer and the half of the autumn(September till the end of October). She has developed a hyperpredation(it means that more than 70 percent of her food is meat) and her food is actually and usually lizards, frogs, fish and insects, she loves to eat them. Every time and during this year, I have been coming to her cozy pond with treats(I mean with full protein food). I’m your fan in Instagram and I have seen your wonderful videos many times. So, I wish that Rooster will achieve his hibernation successfully and I wish to you to continue to be a good and successful blogger about herpetology. Since I was little, reptiles and other animals have become my passion and I’m still passionate about them and learn new facts about those impressive creatures. See you soon and thank you for this interesting video. Have a great life!

    I dampen the soil a little in mine then add like 3 dozen night crawlers- then he gets exercise during meal time - I do leave mine out all winter but mine can dig as deep as they want-
    I don’t think rooster would make it outside with leaves think the weigh of the snow would suffocate him - just my 2 cents lol

    hey Kayla, I am in the twin cities area and raising a group of 8 Eastern box turtles . Similar climate to you so I also bring in my herd for the winter months into a custom enclosure. Nice to see how you have yours setup. I am interested in getting mine setup in the garage or wine chiller, my wife wouldn't go for putting them in the main fridge, something where they can naturally shut down for the winter but not be at risk of our extreme cold. Easterns do naturally range in Michigan and Maine which gets pretty comparable climate and feel with climates shifting, outside year round might also be in the future. Anyways great to come across your content. I am in the works of starting my own youtube about turtles/fish/etc.

Down in the Dirt - Rooster🪳🥰 His next album, Muddy Waters?🤪 yeah, K.🪳 sounds escape me as I stand up after sitting down. So trust&believe that they'd also be made when lifting a loaded tote.😆 Stay safe&cozy in the upcoming Canadian☃️Winter.

    A happy compromise if you have a cold part of the house/garage where he's not in full exposure of Mother Nature.
    I'm going to make a glass panel burrow as everything will be kept outside all natural..
    I understand about being an over protective turtle mom lol and would do the same.

      Well going off a conversation from 30 years ago I bought some full size crickets from the bait shop and set them up. Used a large tote, water dish with sponge,egg crates, romaine lettuce, and either chicken feed or peat moss for substrate.
      I watched them prob and lay eggs and after a couple days I could have fed them off and then waited but this was my first time. It wasn't long at all and I had pin heads, oh and another reason to feed off adults cause they'll eat the babies.
      PS, that book you wanted at TINLEY is a PDF for like 20 bux USD if you didn't read it in my other post.
