I think that is a great idea and is used lots in the UK. I would definitely add something so that the Tort cant see out otherwise it may end up ripping the plastic with its claws. Maybe a wooden border around the inside. The biggest issue in the UK when they are outside is, they get too damn...

Spring outdoor enclosure. Very overgrown and I am going to tend to it over the next couple of days and get it back under control. will post an update

That’s really a lovely size for your tort. Try putting some stuff in there to break up the line of sight.

You can still build something great for your tortoise in the UK. I’m in the UK and I have a large outdoor enclosure, you just need either a small heated box or some kind of cold frame. My cold frame was in the corner of the enclosure that got the first sun and it was remarkably hot inside.

I messaged you on Instagram...

This is growing in my tortoise enclosure. I’ve never seen anything like it before, any ideas?

I completely agree with you about not finding a well started baby. I have looked at many "breeder" adds and they are all on "Pets at home" substrate, or some other completely inappropriate bedding and the tortoises look dry!! I am not going to rush this, I learnt my lesson with my last tort...

Thanks for taking the time to write this Tom. Here in the UK pretty much all of the people I have spoken to about Sulcatas have told me they need dry conditions. There is a particular website in the UK who I wont mention, but I got barred for merely suggesting that somebody needed to keep...

Thanks Yvonne! I have been lurking but haven't been on much since the App went :-(

That looks like a Gopher tortoise. @Yvonne will be able to tell you more and confirm.

I have just joined Tapatalk and I’m posting this message from it!!! It’s not as good as the App but it’s functional. I hope it stays on Tapatalk.

Yes I agree I think you have a male russian there. His beak looks like it needs trimming too it’s quite overgrown. He looks like he’s been Outside a while, his shell looks worn and rugged. Maybe put some signs up to see if anyone has lost their tortoise.

I think they are the same thing. Hopefully someone else will come in and confirm but I’m pretty sure they are the same thing. Tube lights are so much better
