Hi there!

My lovely little cherry head is starting to get a little too big for her current ZooMed corner hiding place. Her shell is just starting to scrape the sides, and I'm having a tough time finding an appropriately sized replacement. She is about the size of my hand from finger tips to the base of my palm and wonderfully chubby. She's a little over a year old. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thank you!

Best,
Fitz

Hi, I use a plastic flower pot and just cut it in half. Works perfectly.

I use plastic or terracotta flower pots, placed on their side with the bottom portion buried in the substrate.

I bought this at Wal-Mart for $4 cut a hole big enough for my tort, then packed it with spaghnum moss. It's worked great, and my tortoise likes it

I use the tubs at Walmart that are like $1.72 and cut a wide entrance myself. My year old is also now too big and I crack up every time he goes in sideways and takes the hide with him. He was upgraded this weekend hehe.

I use a flipped over recycling bin. She ends up moving it around to her liking if she wants a darker corner to sleep in.
