I have a pretty large box turtle pen that is fenced off with grape stakes. One day I went out there with the morning food and was surprised to see a cute little box turtle walking towards me, the food goddess, on the path OUTSIDE the pen!!! Upon further inspection, the fence was down in a spot and needed repairing.

I doubt this will work for you, because your turtle was new to you and doesn't yet recognize you as the food god. But keep looking. I hope it turns up.

I would walk arouind outside with a hose and soak all areas where he could hide. Frequently after a rain, they will come out to feed.
