Thanks StephF and mj3151 for the replies! What kind of bushes do y'all recommend? My parents house is surrounded by hickory and oak trees, so I may go over and get a p/u truck load of leaf litter and just cover the sand with that. How do I go about making a good place for her to hibernate? (Yea, I know I have a while, but I'm trying to plan it right the first time). The dogs have radio frequency invisible fence collars, and after I caught them eating her food for the second time today, their area has been cut back by about 3 more feet (the turtle pen is on the edge of their range) so that they can't get to her feeding area any more. I have some freeze-dried crickets that I have been sprinkling over her fruits, veggies, box turtle pellets, and calcium powder mix, and I've watched her pick off some slugs that have found their way to her pen. I also have some "fishin'" worms that I could supplement as well.

Have a blessed day,
Erich
