Hi. I just adopted a Russian Tort. He has been in a small aquarium for the past five years. Poor thing! I would like to build him an outside enclosure to put on my deck. He would be able to get some good sun for at least half of the day. I have to make a top for it, as there are hawks and such in the area. I am going to make a wood box. My questions are:
1. What do I fill it with? Soil, bark, etc? And how deep do I fill it?
2. How do I prevent possible drowning if it should rain hard and I am not at home to bring him in? What do I do to my box to prevent this? I am in Southern CA, so it is kind of silly to ask, but we did just recently have some real rain.
Thanks!
