I am limited on space as only have a roof garden so decided to convert what was my pond with surrounding garden into ' Tortoise Park '. I think it is big enough for them for this year at least but maybe in the future I will convert the larger L shaped raised flower bed. Mmmmmm........

This is me assuming what will be my summer position !!

I had just put them into their new house and closed the lid. A few minutes later they started to emerge. "You go first".... "No, you go first.".... "No you"........

I realised that the ramp was a bit too steep for them so made the incline a little less. They then both beat a hasty retreat !!

They both headed for the stoney area, which I wasn't sure they would like but they crossed it to the other side. I hadn't got the water fountain on at the time but will see what they think of that the next time they are out.

That is a great outdoor enclosure. Very nice. Funny, I assume that same summer position an awful lot around my tortoises too.

I absolutely LOVE this! I've been on the searching for the right table top fountain that I can turn into Rascals water dish too!
