I'm setting up my enclosure for the winter, and my Russian and box turtle are looking for a place to brumate. The enclosure walls extend down about 4" below the dirt line, which is not deep enough to ensure they can't get out. I'm wondering if I dig a trench down deep enough along the perimeter of the enclosure and then backfill it will gravel if it would do the job as well as a wooden wall would. I figure the gravel won't have to be replaced due to rot, but wasn't sure if the Russian and box would be able to dig through the gravel.
