Tortilla the sulcata
New Member
Hi all,
I have a male Sulcata who is 11 years old and maybe a foot long (yes I know he's small for his age, he had a poor diet). We live in the Midwest and are wanting to build an outdoor enclosure so that he can get all the sun he wants this time of year.
I am planning on using cinder blocks, stacked 3 high. Do I need to sink anything in the ground? He's not a big digger. I'm not entirely sure how big I should make the enclosure yet.
I also want to put some shrubs in that will act as shade and a food source. Does anyone have any suggestions for shrubs that will last through a Midwestern winter and come back every year?
We will also probably buy a small dog kennel as a night box.
Any help/suggestions would be super helpful!
