Though some box turtles have home ranges of fewer than ten acres, tracking
studies show that many also travel significant distances. Brumation is spent burrowed into the ground starting in mid to late October, with spring emergence starting around late April. Little is known about the first few years of life, which are spent out of sight, likely staying under leaf litter.Box turtles' omnivorous diet includes earthworms, slugs, carrion, berries, fallen fruit and even poisonous mushrooms.
