Green leaf is a different species. I'm assuming it's safe given how much romaine-adjacent stuff everyone is pulling!! I can't believe how bare this section of my grocery is right now.
My Russian HATES the kale/arugula mix I got in place of the spring mix that's typically his core winter food...
Since you're still undecided on the lid, I'll share what we ended up doing. We used PVC pipe and went up & over. This is square so we crossed them. I want to go longer next year, so then we'll probably need to create at least 3-4 separate arches and connect them across the top (& possibly at the...
So - we decided to go UP rather than over, with all the plants & such. While we could do a wire mesh over this frame, because it's so close to the house anyway & because the height (we hope) will be something of a deterrent, we're going to start out with heavy-duty poultry netting draped over...
So, it feels like so much longer but a few days into Sheldon's daily visits (still not out full time or even majority of the day till I figure out better predator deterrence) a few thoughts & observations:

I was asking my friends for suggestions on a potential GPS or Bluetooth tracking device for my Russian. One of my friends helpfully shared this tweet. https://twitter.com/bestofnextdoor/status/1003742913145159680
Made my day.
Definitely! The wire you might see around the panels is buried into ground, I was planning to go 10” deep but the heavy clay stymied me in parts. It’s at least 4” deep and usually 6-8” deep all around, wherever the clay got too thick and hard for me to go any further.
But digging is my biggest...
Since getting Sheldon in January I'd been impatiently waiting for Spring thaw to get started on the outdoor home. After 2 months work It's now almost complete, I think! I've got Tortoise Supply's Testudo Mix growing since April in the strip of leafy greenery outside the enclosure. The interior...
I missed previous post(s), what is the size of your enclosure? I'm still making do with the 50-gallon I inherited, and will probably have to do so until fall (tho my tort will live outside during the summer). This is a great inspiration for an indoor habitat!
My Sheldon eats first thing in the morning. I set plenty out so he can eat all day long if he wants but... he pretty much wakes up, basks for a bit, runs for the greens, and doesn't touch them the rest of the day.
