Indoor enclosures

[jonwarren97]

Hi,
I want to add things to my 1 year old Russian Tortoise (Neville)'s indoor enclosure that will make it a bit more entertaining!
Looking forward to your responses

Hi Jon

Can you take a few pix and describe your enclosure? A lot of input will depend on its location, size, etc. I'm sure if you attach a few pictures you will get a lot of "suggestions." Regards

Hi,
I am unable to take pictures at the moment (phone camera is playing up)... It's roughly 4ft x 2ft with a soil substrate. I have a plant pot for a hide and a basking rock (and food/water bowls obviously), but that's it!
I wanna make it a but more interesting for him!

You could try putting in some different textures (e.g. An area of stones or pebbles or sticks), you could also put in a tunnel or something to climb over? Hope I helped!

I will add lots sight barrier so the torts will do lot more walking to check out the entire enclosure.

Also add some plants (if your tort doesn't ruin them )

I've tried putting plants in before and he kept trying to eat them so I took them out! I'm gonna buy him a new table when I get back from holiday and I wanna make it the best I can!

Plants! As long as you tort doesn't kill them (mine do ) they look great, provide shelter, edible (make sure they are) raise humidity and oxygenate the air.

Are there any plants you would recommend?
