Another terrapin died, Joseph on booster seat

After struggling for 3 weeks with the eye-infection, the terrapin finally died.

The problem is that they won’t eat when they can’t see, and they will then die of hunger. Terrapins only eat when there is light. The eye-infection, causing swelling, shuts off the eye, effectively making it blind.

Joseph has upgraded to booster seat without the back-rest. He is large enough now, able to buckle himself into the seat and the booster is smaller and easier to store in the car.
