enclosure diy

Hello folx! I am going to begin building an outdoor enclosure for my future dream tortoise! I'm planning on adopting an adult Greek Tortoise after I finish building the outdoor and indoor enclosures. My partner and I just moved into our first house in Denver, Colorado last year and for the...

I'd like to add a bit of verticality to Stella's viv, for enrichment mostly. My original plan was to buy a guinea pig 'castle' such as this: However, now I think about it, I realise that she already has a 'fort' of sorts with her humid hide, which is big enough to fill a considerable portion of...

Hi all! I have a sulcata named Turtwig. I've had him for 3 years. I believe he's 4 years old but i'm not sure. I found him and when looking for his owner no one came forward so I've been taking care of him. I live in the Phoenix area. Have a house with a nice backyard and an enclosure for him...

Hello everyone! This is my first post on this forum so excuse me if I make any mistakes, I’m also on mobile. Basically to explain this post: Sometimes I feel like a really terrible tortoise owner even though I do my research I feel like I’m not giving him a good enough quality of life. For...

Im planning on getting a pet tortoise soon. Still debating if i should get a red foot or greek tortoise. Im from the philippines and its a tropical country that has only 2 seasons — summer and rainy season. I just want to ask if can i use this kind of playpen as an indoor enclosure for it? (In...

I have planned it out so that she will have a two level- enclosure with a total walking space of around 34 sqft. My question for...

I live in the Phoenix Az area and have had little success finding a 4' x 8' sheet of PVC board in my area. It is all out of stock at Lowes and Homeport. I do not think they carry it anymore. I located local sign and plastic shops that have it at 250-300 a sheet. If there is anyone in the...

Hi guys, I’m picking up a Russian tortoise as soon as I’ve finished building the enclosure. He’s a rescue and approximately 6-9 years old. I’ve read a fair bit but was hoping for some ideas. I’m thinking of putting his basking spot up in the top right corner. He has an open hide under the log to...

Been a long time since I've posted on here but it feels good to be back! I'm building a new enclosure for Otis (nearly 8 years old, Hermann's tortoise). This is because we are relocating and cannot transport her old one easily (plus, she's due for a bigger one). Her enclosure is currently 4ft...
