My turtles are outside in a tank with a clasped screen top. Last night out local duck got killed by a possum or raccoon. Any suggestions on how to keep my babies safe??

I trapped several raccoons at my other house. I had my box turtles tail get bit off by one. I got my revenge

I soak them in the sun with shade almost everyday and they get natural sunlight in the tank in the morning to mid afternoon. The tank is a 40 gal tank too heavy to move in and out every night. Will raccoons rip through the screen?
