Environmental Temperature and Frequency of Feeding

      --------------------------------------------------



Box turtles can be fed daily, though many hobbyists feed them

every other day or 2-3 times weekly.  They will not eat at low

environmental temperatures and likewise cannot digest food well

at low temperatures.  Consistently warm environmental

temperatures must be maintained, especially at night, for box

turtles kept in colder climates, or for those not allowed to

hibernate.
