I use building blocks and they work well. It’s easy to change the size of the pen. Mine seems to get bigger each year. Mine has gotten so big it’s hard to find my turtles unless they are walking around looking for worms, which they do a lot. I “seed” the pen with several hundred worms each year. I think its good to make the turtles work a little to get there food. The worms I use are not the typical garden worms that dig their way under ground. The worms I get stay on top and eat the leaf litter, which the turtles can find, buy moving the leaves around. My eastern box turtles favorite food is wild mushrooms. The ones they like best have a white or brown or pink or red on top with a pure white underside with gills. They also love to eat cantaloupe the rind and all. once or twice a year i will cook up a Vegetable omelet. I put a litte bit of anything i can find that i think the turtles will like. I also take a hammer and grind up the egg shells and put that into the omlet too. My turtles seem to love it.
