From what I've read, I think Penny (Florida Box Turtle) is building a nest. She has been in this position the last few days. I moved the food bowl there too just in case. Is she building a nest?
If she is, what do I do? Her habitat is outdoors but on my screened deck, safe from any predator.
I don't think the boxy isn't nesting , but getting ready to sleep for the winter days are getting shorter , nights are getting cooler . But I could be wrong . But think my boxy's are getting ready also .
She is just hiding, You need to add a few things to that enclosure. I've looked at other pictures of the enclosure and not to hurt you feelings but its really not suitable for her.
