Hi everyone,
First time posting and so happy to have found such a wonderful (and helpful) community of tortoise lovers! Sorry in advance if this question had been answered before! I am in the process of setting up an indoor tortoise closure for my first tortoise hatchling (either Indian Star or Greek Tortoise) in my apartment when everything is set up and prepared. Due to the lack of my craftsmanship, I opted for the penn-plex tortoise palace which seemed to be one of the bigger enclosures for sale online. However, I read that hatchlings benefits greatly from closed chamber environment compared to an open one.
I had an idea of doing what Yvonne in the forum had suggested before to cover the whole top area of the tortoise palace with aluminum foil (or any other material) to simulate a makeshift closed chamber for the hatchling. This would still allow me to open the latch to feed the tortoise everyday. I want to run my idea by everyone here to see the idea makes sense. Any other suggestions or feedbacks on how to create a close chamber environment with the tortoise palace are greatly appreciated!
