Laura said:I personally would not want to house a large animal in a cold snowy climate all winter. I don't think its fair to them to live in a shed or basement all winter. It CAN be done.. but I just don't think its ideal..
But if you can build a big enough one and afford to heat it and take precautions for power outage etc...then give it a try.
Thanks Laura, that's the key question, what is best for the animal? What is big enough is what I am trying to gather info about. I don't want to build anything too small, because as you say - it's not fair to the tort. Basement living is not what I would do for an Aldabra. I do think it is OK for smaller species - though still not ideal.
