It's 3 ft by 3ft. I'm in Hawaii and it gets lots of sun throughout the day. I want to build him a bigger enclosure for sure. This was just done for a temporary home for him. My sons teacher gave him to us unexpectedly and prior to this he was in a huge plastic bin. He seems so much happier...

I did that today too! It was Spike's first day/night out in the outdoor enlosure. I came out to see how he'd done at about 4pm and I couldn't find him! It scared me because even though I have a screened top on his enclosure, and he screen was still intact I saw the uprooted cat grass and...

Do yours like to dig and just chill out in the hole they dug? He ripped up the cat grass and dug a hole and stayed there for a while.

He's been digging all over and even uprooted the cat grass! Is it normal for them to burry themselves and just chill out a lot?

I modified an existing raised garden bed by making the sides taller and making a screened top that is removable. It isn't perfect by any means but my 9 year old son and I put it together. Not bad for our first build project. He was super proud of his mama :) Spike seems to love it and crawled...

Thank you so much! I will try the diet out for him and pray he eats it!

Thank you, I haven't had much luck finding top soil or peat moss here. I will try a local garden shop tomorrow.

Here in Hawaii our Walmarts and pet stores don't carry night crawlers or any sort of live bait. I also haven't found any online suppliers that can ship worms here due to the restrictions. I could buy meal worms if they are ok? I have tried crickets, boiled chicken and dog food so far and he...

Thank you

I recently found out that my new Three Toed box turtle was an outside turtle that lived in a backyard with a pond. For the past two weeks he's been indoors and seemed unhappy, now I know why! I am almost done with his outdoor enclosure and had a few questions. When should I feed him to keep...

I only found the Eco earth so I will try that. I'm hoping to build it tomorrow then I will share a picture.

Would the Eco earth be ok?

If I put him outside, he won't need anything at night correct? Temps range between 66-75 at night here outside.

So now that I've found out he was previously an outside turtle, which plants should I put in his enclosure and what substrate?

Well as it turns out, this turtle came from a backyard that had a small pond and several Habba huts to hide in. No wonder this poor guy is so unhappy
