    Enclosure idea help

    If it we're me i would make one of toms enclosed chamber enclosures they work really well and quite a few people use them. If you look i do believe there's a thread about them. If not I'm sure someone can help more than I can.

    My tort not eating with calcium

    Well a lot of times tortoises don't like the calcium so they avoid it however if you shred the greens and put just a little pinch in and then spray with water it hides it well.

    Maybe since you changed the habitat around he doesn't like it and it stresses him out maybe. Or he sees something he wants. But he could just be doing it to do it my sulcata would try to climb his hide that I made him and he would flip so I had to remove it sometimes they just get stubborn.
