Hello! I have a new Boxie. I am new to "land" turtles as I have only ever owned aquatic turtles (sliders, softshell). We have a very large backyard and my hubby is a landscaper, so we can make a nice place, however I have questions on the process. We were planning on using cinder blocks, so would we still have to put something under ground to stop him from digging his way out? Also, I am sure this is a DUMB question, but if I let him hibernate outdoors in his pen, what if it rains? Can he drown? I am in Texas, so it may get down to freezing at night, but not too often. I am wondering if I should house him inside during the winter? I welcome any and all suggestions so I can ensure my new baby leads a great healthy life. ( by the way, he is not nameless, we are still kicking ideas around-lol)
