I rescued a three toed box turtle, a few months ago, from a pet store. His name is Robert Paulson (from my favorite movie, if you get the reference) Although, I am sure "Bob" is a girl! Anyway, she seemed to be eating well and was pretty active. I could usually entice her with other foods if I put a worm in front of her face! I am also 99% sure she is wild caught due to her "weathered" shell and because I bought her from a pet store. Most of the turtles and tortoises I see at the stores, I can tell are from the wild and aren't being taken care of, and I want to rescue them all!
Anyway, lately Bob has been staying buried in the dirt and I have unbury her even for a worm. Is it possible that her natural instinct is kicking in and she is trying to hibernate? I just want to make sure she is OK. Thanks!
