Ok, turtle people-- need your help again!

A friend of mine picked up these three turtles at a yard sale today-- for free. So you can imagine how well they've been cared for.

I took these pics as soon as she brought them, so no, they are not really sitting right in front of the air conditioner anymore. This is the one I'm concerned about:







Is that a prolapse?? The people told her that he's been eating and pooping, and indeed, there is poop in the tank. He dove into bananas and strawberries when I offered them. But his whole back end looks nasty and dried out...

These are the other two:





Also dove right into the fruit. I can take them to the vet early this week, but if you have any advice, pls send.... box turtles, I think, altho the two in the tank together have almost no markings on their shells. I am NOT a turtle expert at all and would like to find someone way more experienced than me to take them asap.

Thanks!!

1. We've had a box turtle, Bam-Bam, for 15 years. If you'd care to ship them, I'd love to give them a home!
Are they eastern box turtles?
2. That's definitely a prolapse. I don't have any experience with it in turtles; but the vet nearby always helps us if we have a problem with Bam-Bam, so they'd probably know what to do.

Also, you may want to make sure you don't feed him until you get that prolapse checked/fixed by a vet.
He'll be fine without the food; Our turtle brumates herself at a little below room temp and she's fine for the 5 months she does it without food.

I have an ornate boxie turtle and Yes that looks like prolapse. Probably needs to go to a vet asap. The 2 are a 3toed boxie and the other one looks like an eastern boxie. For food give them nightcrawlers, wax worms, silkworms, superworms. Veggies they can have tomatos and some fruit. Be careful with the bananas they can give them the runs lol. I am glad your friend got them turtles. that is so sad how they were cared for. I would love to have them also LOL. The 3-toed with red eyes is a male If you need any other help I can go to my turtle group and ask away.

Option number two would certainly be interesting. XD
