I have a gulf coast box turtle hatchling. Hes about a few weeks old. I'm a little less knowledgeable on box turtles but I do have a common snapper whos doing well. I did alot of research on enclosure, temperature, food and all sorts of stuff for the box turtle and seem to have got everything I need. My main concern is he just burrows in the substrate day and night. When I pull him out he will eat his food and drink water no problem. I've seen other post about maybe the turtle is sick but he doesn't have any bubbles coming out or his nose and doesn't seem sick for all I know. But right after he eats he'll go straight back into the substrate to burrow. I live in NJ so it's summer time right now so I don't think hes hibernating. Does anyone have any advice about what this could be?
