Hey everyone, I would like some opinions about housing my hatchling sulcata. He is currently 3 inches in diameter and my best guess is that he is about 7 to 10 months old.
I currently have him in an ' under the bed ' type rubbermaid bin in my kitchen, it is 16x35 inches. That is working great for me, but I'm facing a serious housing downsize in my life.
What would you all recommend is the smallest recommended size for a tortoise of his age and size? This will be a temporary situation (six months to a year) but I don't want him to suffer or be unhappy. Would a 18x12 be too small?
I do plan on building my own enclosure within the next year, after I get settled I my new house.
I would really appreciate as much feed back as possible, thanks so much!
