Wake up, there are squirrels in the backyard that need to be chased

So I've got a box turtle that is living in my fenced garden (6 feet of deer fence, plus 3 feet of rabbit fence) that presumably got in through a gap under the door.

Question is - is he living his best life in there, or should I release him? There's plenty of ground cover (grass, mock strawberry) but all the vegetables are either in containers like pictured, or in a raised bed that I'm not sure he can get into. And no water. I'm in central North Carolina.

Just wish it was a little lower so I didn't have to jump to get to it

Yes she's a pittie, yes this is a semi-regular occurrence
