My husband & son found a baby turtle in the back yard & brought it in so the other wildlife (racoons, owls, etc.) wouldn't eat it. It's about the size of a half dollar coin. I don't know what kind it is, but it is probably just a box turtle. We put it in an aquarium with half the base covered in small rocks, the other half sand & add water to the rocky side. There are also other larger rocks my son collected from the creek. The turtle LOVES cucumber, but has also eaten some lettuce, squash, worms from the yard, and some box turtle pellets from the pet store. I haven't actually seen it eating, but the cucumber has little turtle bites out of it & just the rind is left. He tends to dig & bury under sand & rocks most of the time. Good luck with yours.
