Well as some of you may know, Thor my leopard likes to try and climb the walls of his enclosure (he can no longer see out).
So I have 2 plans. Going to try plan 1 first and see what happens.
Plan 1: I'm going to find a Lid/Container that is decently big, like 12"x2-3 ft, and 4-5" deep roughly. And grow grasses/weeds in it and literally put it in his enclosure. I have grow lights if needed in addition to his UVB, but we'll see how it goes. And i'll be using an organic soil/dirt from outside as the soil.
I'm hoping it'll distract him and make it more "outdoorsy". This way he can walk on the grass, and eat the grass/weeds as he pleases and gives him something different to walk on.
Plan 2: Make the ENTIRE 4 ft x 1.5 ft enclosure grass/weeds. With a small area to bask on the coconut substrate and a small area for his water dish and place to put his other greens. The hides will go on the grass itself. I could also plant like Pansies and Marigolds and a few other things in there for cover.
Let me know what you think.
Lol woops. How deep do you think I'd need the soil to be to grow grass and weeds from Turtlestuff.com - The forage mix.
