What type of plants can “Box” turtles eat?
I found a good sized box turtle and I’m caring for it in a large, outdoor, shady/sunny, perfect turtle box. I have bananas and fruit, but i was wondering if there are any natural plants they eat as well so I could plant some in the habitat. For instance grass?? or…
Thanks alot, ![]()

When do I harvest bananas off my tree?
I have a banana tree that has grown fruit this year. They are all green now, the top ones bigger than the bottom. I understand that they will begin to ripen once I cut them down. But if I cut them down too soon, they will be starchy rather than sweet. How do I know when I should harvest them?
Fruit smoothie recipes?
Do you have any good recipes? I only know how to make a banana shake and an orange sorbet shake. Is there anything else that is easy to make? I don’t like any type of melons (honeydew, cantaloupe, watermelon, etc.). I love bananas and any type of citrus fruit. I want them to be easy to make and NON alcoholic (only 18).
matty_mo1, I love funyons, but not THAT much. . . yuck
Can I bulk up with muscle without taking any whey protein powder or supplement?
I eat 4 meals a day:
Breakfast: 2 egg white omlette, brown toast, skim milk
Lunch: grilled chicken breast sandwich (w/ lettuce, tomato, no mayo)
Pre-workout meal: mixed nuts or banana
Post-workout meal: fat-free smoothie w/ protein booster
Dinner: rice w/ grilled chicken/fish and vegetables, some kind of fruit (banana)
I have about 2 liters of water (4 bottles) a day.
I go to my university gym as such: mon: chest, tues: neck/back, wed: biceps/triceps/forearms, thurs: legs; I train with heavy wights and low reps; I do no cardio (afraid of losing muscle).
Currently, I am in a “bulking up with muscle stage” for about 5-6 months, then moving on to a “cutting” phase, thus reducing my body fat percentage, helping me get a leaner body. I have already gained 2 pounds in over a week since starting to work out. As you can see, I have carefully watched my diet with no sugars (fruit juices), no junk foods (candy/chips),
Banana tree?
I’ve heard that there are a variety of banana tree’s available that will produce fruit even in a cold climate. I live in central Illinois where temperatures rarely drop below zero. I couldn’t find the record low but I’d imagine it’s never been lower than -20. What type of banana tree is available for this climate and where could it be purchased, if there is even one available?
