Since Redfoot don't dig you have easy options.
All three of my pens are basically made the same way. It's strong cheap and easily modified or made larger.
I use 4' steel fence pickets hammered into the ground 12" and then attach treated fence pickets with deck screws.
I suggest four pickets high with the bottom one flush with the ground. I've also made them 3 pickets high.
Higher walls and doors, roofs are also easy to ad.
I also use Spider plants and Bermuda grass. Tough to eat and offer hiding spots and shade.
Thank you for your feedback, it's much appreciated:)

Finally loaded your pictures.
Lovely garden, any tortoise would be happy there.
I'm sure they will be happy alright. I need to do some investigating about plants that are safe for Redfoots. I think I found a great website on safe plants for them. Since summer is ending soon I hope to find some cheaper plants as well :)

Don't forget The Tortoise Table, though they are a bit over cautious.
I like spider plants, too and prickly pear, but I don't have Redfoots

I have a spider plant, I killed it :( I have 2 snake plants and rose of Sharon trees that are growing all over the place that I can move around. But I need plants and flowered that will survive all year long in our cold temps

Big breakfast, no lunch, light dinner and big late supper for me.

I went to an hotel here in Morocco once.
After dinner I asked if they had a cheese board.
"Yes, of course", said the waiter proudly and brought it out.
It consisted of a poor Edam and
img-thing


Hmmmm.....
We do have the laughing cow cheese here! I actually kind of like them when I have a taste for them. I'd much rather eat cheese curds though
