Hi
I recently acquired my very first tortoise, a horsfield. I'm unsure of his age but was told two years when I bought him ( I think male due to his tail). He weighs just 47g and fits easily in the palm of my hand - does two years fit this as an approximate?!
Also, we made him an outdoor pen for the summer days only to find out afterwards the wood was cedar and shouldn't be used for tortoises (picture enclosed), so does anyone on here have any thoughts on making this outdoor pen safe for him, was thinking of using fibreglass epoxy ? And changing the base altogether so that all that remains of the cedar is the sides, can anyone please help with any advice in the way forward here, want to save this outdoor pen if possible! Thanks sooo much in advance . Stacey
