    New enclosure

    Thank you! And I'm not understanding why some put a small plastic bin inside the enclosure then add the dirt? Then fill the rest of the enclosure with dirt. Why not just all of the substrate without a bin? And if I do the bookcase idea how high should the substrate be. Sorry for all of this but...

    New enclosure

    Hi all tort lovers!!!! I was reading on here about someone that made a new enclosure using a bookcase they bought from IKEA. I love this idea but have a question...would you be able to use kitchen tiles as flooring but use a clear silicone to seal it? Thank you

    That's funny! But what I'm not understanding is that she (Rubble...my 3yr old picked the name) was doing ok when I put her in the new larger enclosure. It wasn't until I had to move the entire thing upstairs to my bedroom because my sister wouldn't let me keep it in the living room because of...

    It wasn't a change to his enclosure I just moved the whole thing to my bedroom upstairs. Since I've had her back downstairs in the living room she's been much more alert and eating again. But I've had to put her back in her smaller enclosure and she really does seem to love it. Her head sticks...
