Yeah, if it’s trying to make a nest, probably best to leave it be. But if you see 'em out exploring later, some tomato or a grape will get them to come out of their shell. They like head pets!
You’ll probably have some baby box turtles in a few months. I highly recommend knowing the commitment you’re getting into before thinking of adopting one (or 3, and finding yourself with a 60gal turtle tank in the living room a few years later).
Not planning on adopting it or it’s children. I don’t mind it living in my yard though. I’d certainly be up for giving it some food as long as it’s not harmful to it. It’s neat to watch it do it’s thing.
I tried giving it some lettuce but it ignored it. I think it’s trying to lay some eggs, so I’m going to leave it alone and see what happens.
