Ok so here's the story. Where I work we have a court yard that is completely enclosed. We have about 7 boxies out there. There are plenty of cushes and things to burrow under, they've recently come out from hybernation. Most of them were rescued out of the road and have been injured in some way. Well here's my problem, I don't think they get enough food and water. We have water pans out there that are shallow enough for them to wade in to drink and get out but those really aren't filled up as quickly as I think.
I just went out there (I work 3rd shift on weekends) and saw one of the babies (he/she is about 3 or 4 inches) and I had a slice of tomatoe to take out, I moved the baby and he pigged out.
We have 5 big ones, 3 of which are male, and 2 babies, sexes unknown at this time.
I really am concerned for these little guys but I'm afraid to set them free because most of them are injured or simply trust humans too much. We have a few that were severly injured by getting run over by cars.
Do you have any input?
I try to feed them but I only work 3 days a week, so that's not much. And I don't really have anything to feed them. The tomatoes were pure chance. I'm going to take a banana out soon though, hopefully they'll eat that.
Can you think of anything I could do to make them happier? I just worry that they aren't getting what they need. We did have one to get sick and die, but I think he was sick when he came here. He was only here for about 4 months. Others have been here for 5 or 6 years.
