Baby box turtle

[Reptileguy1741]

So for Christmas I am getting a baby eastern box turtle and I just wanted some extra tips. Don't think I don't know what I'm doing I've been researching for weeks just wanted to get some who has experience to give me any advice.

Do you have the enclosure set up yet? Pics of that so we can let you know.

Set up a comfortable enclosure for him/her and be careful about the temperature.

Lots of cover and hiding places for a baby. They dig and burrow and hide. The only time I saw my hatchling was if I caught them in the food or water bowl! I used to stalk them just to see if they were still alive. They still like to dig and hide but they're a lot more adventurous now that they're older. Even my adults are generally more active at dawn and dusk, they live outside with lots of natural sunlight.
