Frozen veggies on a paper plate. (warning: box turtles make adorable nom nom nom faces, so prepare for cute.)
I used to keep mine (road rescues) outside in the yard, but if you're in an apartment, you'll either want a terrarium or an enclosed area like ferrets or small children get, depending on the size. (Reminder: provide scale in the next image.)
In the winter, he'll want to hibernate (or maybe not - I've never kept them indoors). You'll need some damp dirt that's about as tall as he is plus an inch for him to bury himself in, about a foot square. I'd suggest having said dirt available all year, but it's probably not necessary if you don't want to deal with the mess. He might also like a plant to sit under.
They're not terribly social, so you don't need to worry about him being lonely. (If you do get another one, they'll fight for a week or so and then get bored of it and tolerate each other. Amusingly, they'll cooperate on ganging up on later additions.)
