Weighing a Baby Box Turtle

When raising a baby animal, monitoring growth is an important part of care and handling. Watch as BoxAnthony (the three-toed box turtle) experiences his first weight in. How many grams do you think he will weigh?

*Funny note: At the time of filming BoxAnthony was BoxAnne! It wasn't until a month or so later that his secondary sex characteristics began to show. Just how do you tell on a turtle anyway? Find out in a future video!
