My desert box turtle in hibernation was dug up by my dog so will he be able to resume hibernation if I dig a hole for him below our frostline?

If your desert Box turtle has been disturbed during hibernation, it may be challenging for it to resume hibernation effectively. Turtles rely on specific conditions to enter and maintain hibernation, and being dug up can disrupt their metabolic state. If you dig a hole below the frost line and place the turtle back in, ensure it is in a quiet, dark, and stable environment. Monitor its condition closely, as it may be too stressed to re-enter hibernation properly.
