i picked up a few cuddle bones ones mango flavored if that helps her eat it cool i got a desert uvb light on her is desert good or should i lessen it to tropical
I have super limited experience with box turtles.
I'm not sure how often they will nibble on a cuttlebone

I've had two of Boxies going on nearly 20 years now and neither has even so much as ever looked at it
thats seems to be the consensus with mine she just uses it to crawl on lol i feel bad i bought a box of 30 (T.T)

ive moved her into a 75 gallon tank and have made her bedding out of 2 20lbs bags of calcium sand 1 small aquarium gravel bag 1 medium aquarium gravel bag and 1 large aquarium gravel bag (in terms of size of gravel not the bag itself) and then 3 bricks coconut fiber and 1 large bag of tropical flooring

I hope i set it up correctly i read somewhere they prefer sandy soil with gravel so they can burrow i made it around 5" deep
This does worry me as i dont want her to sand off her shell if thats possible
