Hey all! I am a big nature guy and it's been decades since I have owned a turtle. I am currently trying to purchase a pair for my yard/ home, have a nice yard and looking to add some native species, tho I will not be letting them loose. I have strawberries and blue berries growing in my yard, do they like blue berries? I know they like strawberries.

Any pointers or do's and don'ts? Thanks!

Bryan

Okay, then yes they normally do like blueberries. Eastern box turtles are some of the most gorgeous of the box turtles. Also sadly, the ones I have the worst time with.

Hello and welcome. Careful with just a pair. Male boxies can be pretty aggressive breeders.
