Can i keep a tortoise in my garden. With raise beds.
We'll need a bit more info from you? Your weather? What species of tortoise?
Yes you can. That would probably be a great area for a tortoise, as long as you aren't using pesticides or other toxic chemicals around the garden.Can i keep a tortoise in my garden. With raise beds.

Age, size and species will have to be taken into account too. Some species come from tropical areas and need to be kept warm day and night, while other species come from temperate areas and can tolerate colder night temps, or hibernate through winter.
What I like to do is have an indoor and an outdoor enclosure. Indoors at night and on day with extreme weather, and outdoors on nice days.
What you need will depend on species, but dog houses are designed for dogs, and they don't wrk well for tortoises. Best to design and build something better suited to your tortoises needs. When that time comes we will help. Lots of examples here for you.Thanks so much. I was thinking like a Dog house? With some kindof heat when needed. I will do some research on species.
