    GIANT tortoise needs a burrow, haaalp!

    Same area then! OK so maybe I'll change my plan. If I use the table maybe I will turn it upside down so this heavy duty top turns into the bottom. Then I'll fashion a hinged lid that can lift up. Or maybe it will be more secure if I fashion a lid that sets on, or screws down, since it will...

    GIANT tortoise needs a burrow, haaalp!

    We have this outdoor table that's getting rickety. It's legs are wobbly. It's top is a solid row of jointed 2x4s, so that should be insulating enough.

    GIANT tortoise needs a burrow, haaalp!

    Ive got a 22 yr old 70 lb Sulcata. He's HUGE! He wants a burrow, and rather than allowing him to make one himself, Id like to control the situation. Mainly so it doesn't get out of control. I'm leaning towards this 3 wall cinder block idea, capped with plywood and buried in dirt. My issue is...
