He is indeed. He loves the corners of his enclosure. But so far so good has not tried to dig out yet . By the way the name stuck . I can't stop calling him Harry funny right .
I think he was a girls tortoise because he will go to her .

Nice enclosure. What are the dimension and did you run electricity yourself or did you call an electrician? Is the outside pool able to be drained without removal? Good job.

Just read you post in reusing the old electrical shed. One of my enclosures is an upcycled toilet transport crate. I'm waiting for a 2nd one. My partner is a plumber, so he gets me lots of stuff I can upcycle.
