Height of enclosure

[Sammy]

I wanted to get bigger enclosures for my tortoises, they are around 3.5 inches long. Brought some large ikea tubs (under bed drawer type). But the height is only 7 inches. Worried they can climb out, is there anything I can do / build around it? I don't want it to be too tall as the air flow is not so good indoors. Any advice please

Cut the center out of the lid and use the "rim" as a Lip? I'm sorry I can't explain this very well. I'm sure there will be someone here that can. Good Luck.

Fantastic idea Lynn....I think you explained perfect

Thanks I get it, so there's a thick rim like a ledge.

 

[ascott]

Exactly

yes, as long as there is a ledge, then can't get a grip on the edge and pull themselves out, the little buggers!
perhaps make the substrate higher in the middle than the edges...
