    Is it alright to let my Hermann's tortoise spend time in an enclosed playpen for exercise?

    WOW! I'm SO glad I joined this forum, thank you SO much!!!!!! What would you recommend for her daily enclosure size wise? 4x8? I can pretty easily get my hands on a large outdoor enclosure. She can definitely spend much of the time outside from June to September, but since I live in Michigan...

    Sorry, you're right, I apologize, I have dyscalculia and I confuse the numerals 2 and 8 a lot. I will look for a larger one (and enlist the aid of someone who can read numerals)

    Apologies for the double reply, but I thought I should add more info: I put her back in her enclosure, the reptile rescue center said it should be a good size for her but she's always asking to be let out and all my "exotic" animal experience comes from birds and mammals that need to play, so I...

    Is it alright to let my Hermann's tortoise spend time in an enclosed playpen for exercise?

    I am a new reptile owner. I adopted this little 6-year-old Hermann's tortoise from a local rescue and I'm obsessed with her. Her name is Kiwi. Lately she's been banging on the edge of her enclosure and begging to be let out. I let her outside for 30 minutes a day in an enclosed pen to get...
