Trying to build my group back. Had a few come up missing.

I agree with Yvonne. The first 2-3 years are the toughest. Down here it's cold then not as cold. Some days they are out and then buried again.

Ok. I figure if I get enough plants that provide cover it will help them feel safe.

That's what I'm hoping. It's only been a week so I'm adding some more plants and logs this weekend hoping this helps. Should I put the plants next to the walls to help stop them?

It's too dark to get a pic right now. It's the landscape bricks that make a retaining wall for a garden. They are not square and have gaps on the inside. They are getting in between the gaps and climbing. I thought about gluing ceramic tile along the walls to make it flat and hoping they...

Anyone have any ideas to help stop them from climbing up the walls? I do have a lip around it but they keep climbing so far and then falling down.

Thanks y'all. My turtle likes to dig deep so I'm going to bury the wire just to feel a little better. I will put bricks along the inside edge flush with the ground to help.

Welcome to the TFO.

I had a Russian Tortoise named DaRock LOL!

I've always used screen buried to keep them from digging out. I stapled it to the wooden walls. Now I'm using bricks for the walls and want to know how to secure the edges. What has everyone else done in this situation?

Need some ideas for a new enclosure for Izzy. Send some pics and all the info you can. I really enjoy seeing what everyone uses and how they decorate them.

Check that! She is now out again. Guess she just needed some extra rest.

Great looking bunch!

My female GC has been buried for the past three days and has not eaten. Last year she did hibernate until late October. Anybody else seeing this in south Louisiana?

Nice!
