It's been a week now since I adopted an eastern box turtle from a family that couldn't keep her anymore. I set the enclosure up like other box turtle owners recommended on the forum- she has a place plenty big to soak, a shady area, and some rocks and plants in her enclosure. A lot of times when I check on her she's buried herself and just has her head poking out of the substrate.
Is the normal behavior for a box turtle? I don't want to do anything wrong for her, I've been trying to get her on a better diet and everything so she gets the lifestyle she missed out on in her old home. I wasn't sure if she could still be adjusting to her new house, if it's normal, or if I'm doing something wrong. Thanks!!
