Found a raised garden bed today for $5. Thought it would make a good barrier for my little guys. I was right! Looks kinda deformed from being rolled up... Supposed to be round. But they dont mind! Lol. Olly and Tank loved it. Still keeping Gunther seperated so he free roamed by himself.

Tank and Gunther still havent figured out that they are supposed to eat weeds. But im sure they will soon. It took Olly a bit. But OMG whats with the poop eating?! Olly and tank would not stop! I kept having to get it out and they kept pooping more!!!! Lol

GREAT idea!!! Yeah- the poop eating sounds gross. I haven't seen Elsa eat her poop yet but I figure it'll happen. I've read on here that eating poop is how they keep their gut populated with the beneficial bacteria that they need, but...YUCK!!:p

It looks good and is quite a bargain.

My torts only poop when being soaked. If it still poops in his enclosure, I soak them longer and let them to have longer poop time while soaking.
