Finally got around to having my outdoor enclosure built out a few months back. Had an Aquascape certified pond builder put in the pond, and found a guy local in Orlando to build my vision for the woodwork.

And a hutch to house a yellow foot rescue and lock up at night if needed.

That all looks pretty fantastic. I love the pond feature!

You need a visual barrier around the bottom of the hutch house to keep your tortoises from rubbing on the hardware cloth.

I would remove the moss form the YF enclosure. It is likely to be eaten and it can cause impaction. It serves no purpose anyway.

Actually built out the bottom to house a juvenile red foot that was dropped off at the vet clinic, so has a barrier most of the way around, but I should add to bottom portion of the door.
