Box turtle in the backyard
« Reply #25 on: July 06, 2005, 12:25:00 PM »
for the big chill,
i set my shelled buddies up with a mulch pile
covered with corrigated tin to keep the water off
and a foot or two of leaves on top for insulation

feed them well in September/October till they stop eating
they will go to ground and reappear in the spring
