My box turtle is showing signs of wanting to hibernate. He is refusing to eat and spending all his time hiding under the leaves but he doesn't try to bury himself or dig into the ground at all. shouldn't he be going deeper than just walking under the leaves?
Background- I found him at a busy intersection with only houses around and no fields or woods. Given the fact that he was also completely unafraid, I'm assuming he was a pet that escaped. This may be his first time hibernating. It's a native eastern box.
