If you read the quote and clicked the link you would have seen that there is an explanation of how to hibernate box turtles in captivity. So assuming that I am not an idiot or incompitant it is unnecessary. I appreciate any and all information. But what I asked for was dietary information. If I ask how to tune an engine I don't really want to hear tips on changing a tire. That's the point I'm trying to make. I simply want an answer to my question.

Yes, because someone who has zero experience with box turtles should definitely try to keep a wild one in a fish tank and make it hibernate as their first experience. That sounds like a great idea.

And how do you plan on housing it?
