"ROSE"
Rose adopted "guardians" are Aaron Weed and family and Coinsandpins.com!
Rose was donated to R & R by Austin. Austin is holding Rose in the photo of us below.
Austin found Rose on the road a few years ago after she had been hit by a car.
She recovered from he injuries but still has problems closing her shell due to a broken leg that has healed in a crooked position. Unfortunately, since Rose can no longer close her shell to avoid predators she will remain in captivity as a permanent resident at Earthshine R & R.
Rose and Chip bask in the October sun. It looks like Rose is trying to hide behind that blade of grass;-)
The white stuff on Chip's shell is an epoxy shell patch. Chip was hit by a car and his shell was badly broken. The patch will hold his shell pieces in place until it heals.
UPDATE
April, 01 2009
Rose is out of hibernation! And on almost the exact same day as in 2008--wow--she must have an alarm clock in that tiny head of hers! It has been warm and rainy lately so I fed Rose a couple of big juicy earthworms I found nearby and she wasted no time in finishing them off. Rose was out again a few days later sitting in the sun so I fed her a piece of freshly cooked unspiced chicken. Photos soon.
UPDATE
January 2008
Rose is hibernating now and we will see her in the spring of 2009!

Rose is out of Hibernation!! Check out the video below of her first look at the world after her long nap.
Rose and Rowdy--WOO HOO--baby turtles soon!!
UPDATE
November 2007
Rose has found her hibernation site for the winter and spends the cold days and nights buried beep under a thick bush. On the warmer, sunny days she can often be seen just outside her hole basking in the mid afternoon sun. Take a look at her dirty face...isn't she so cute!
Just look at that dirty face!
