Help! Safety question

[compassrose26]

Hi! I live in Michigan and I would love to keep my year old redfoots outside this summer but I'm not sure how to keep them safe from raccoons, mice, hawks, etc. how do I build an enclosure that keeps them safe? Also, I am in a rental house right now so I cants put in anything permanent.

I'm also in Michigan! I was browsing and I thought this was pretty cool! http://m.instructables.com/id/Tortoise-Habitat/

But would need a lock because the raccoons around here are RELENTLESS!!

I'm in ohio and have same problem & I saw an eagle last week too..... I am debating on a big dog kennel with fence type roof while mine are still small. Right now they only go out supervised.

For my outdoor closure I built a woodframe and then put hardware cloth over the top. I have a Russian tortoise so I also put hardware cloth underneath it because they did I don't know if your type of tortoise digs. Hardware cloth is very durable so that should keep most critters out.

I have raccoons here too, but they only come out at night. Do yours come out in the day time?

Mine mostly come out at night but I'm worried about hawks and owls too
