Hermann indoor enclosure

this is my first enclosure.



it is soil/sand 60/40 with hemp and the bedding area (where she is currently hiding hehe)
i have made a slight difference since this photo i have put some slate into her water bowl as she was struggling to get out this seems to have worked, but i am keeping an eye on her (only got her today)
All comments are very welcome as i want the best for her.
Thanks in advance.

RE: Hermann indoor enclosure

Trina, awesome enclosure! My little Hermann loves to hide in her Aspen, too.

In regards to the water bowl, I have several large pebbles inside the bowl to help prevent my tort from falling in/flipping over. That may help your situation, too.

Anyways, keep us updated Smile

RE: Hermann indoor enclosure

Looks good. The suggestion of pebbles is a good idea, I do that in all my water bowls. Now she will do the final adjustments.

RE: Hermann indoor enclosure

do you think pebbles would be better than the slate then?

RE: Hermann indoor enclosure

I'd be afraid of the tort somehow getting caught/pin in with a piece of slate and could possibly drown. Pebbles can be moved accordingly, but are sturdy enough to give support.
