Hi there :), so I've had my Russian Herbert in a larger enclosure for a while, it's about 5 feet by 2.5 ish a great improvement from his previous small glass cage but recently he seems Frantic. I know his cage isn't very stimulating he has a hide some decor flower pot rocks and a water dish but...

This is the intial setup, I of course need more hides and rocks and fun things for him to climb on but I just finished setting it all up and Herbert's still exploring :) I also realize the opposite end is a little lacking in heat im currently still saving for a ceramic bulb that won't submit...

So I know most people let their tortoise go around the house out of their enclosures but I was wondering if those of you who let them roam let them go anywhere (like carpet and such) I love my tort but I'm worried he will go to the bathroom on my carpet or something :eek::) thanks for the Advice...

:)Just got Herbert two weeks ago and he's been so great! He loves to eat!

I agree that it's your choice, if you have researched it and know your tortoise is healthy I think it's okay. If not that's fine too I don't hibernate my Russian because personally I'm nervous to but from what I have researched your tortoise can be healthy without hibernation too.

I really want my tortoise to be able to explore and have an interesting enclosure because right now he seems boerd with it because there's nothing to do. He is a Russian tortoise, how can I make it exciting, what can I add? (it's indoors) thanks so much!
