This is my all natural designed Hermann's tortoise habitat.
It's made out of rocks, flagstone, soil and grass.
There's a water part, digging part and a cave to sleep in.
Also a basking spot and a feeding tile are there.
It's made out of wood and measures 150 cm by 90 cm by 50 cm high.

It's name is shelby and he/she is 3 years old.

leave comments or tips if you like :)

Looks good to me Jimmy. I'd see if you can put some sort of barrier over the hide so your torts can't fall off. Maybe even a barrier that you can get a plant to grow over do to cover the barrier in foliage.

hi,
thanks for the reaction.
as for the top of the hide...she never falls off :) she walks to the edge looks down n turns around n walks off the sides lol
its made to a photo example of a dutch bunker n that had a bare top stone so thats why it has no grass or foliage on it..
theres direct sunlight on that topstone so she sits there regularly to sunbathe n also sits there so she can ask for attention of my son hahaha they play alot you see
but i get your reaction n maybe in the future i change it a bit...
in the spring i will seed white clover and wild roses in so that summertime will produce some extra color AND snacks for her too ;-)

greets Jimmy

Yeah, I like it a lot too. You've done a nice job of making it interesting, yet safe.
