The little one is a Chinese box turtle, 8 months old. It was eating the mazuri pellets when I first got it but now it is just eating when I give it red wigglers and ground turkey both of which I keep in the fridge.

If one has the upper level would you consider that in your enclosure size requirements? For example if one has a 6’x4’ footprint with a 2’x4’ upper level is that the same as a 8’x4’ single level enclosure?
