fgately said:Thanks for all of the respones. Water dish it is! I was going to put one in anyway but I was just wondering about the subject. I have been to the areas where CDTs live and find it hard to believe they have regular access to water other than from the foods they eat. I understand that RTs come from conditions at least as arid as CDTs so this was a natural question to ask. I was just curious. Besides, my RTs hate being soaked!
Tom - The sprinklers hit only part of their enclosure every two days. I have included three hiding spaces for them I made out of wire armatures and mortar. These hides are very strong and provided good shade as well as protection from rain or the sprinklers.
The enclosure I made for them is very strong evidence that I love these little torts and would never "torture" them as another poster implied. It is 3 by 12 and has 13 inch deep concrete footings all around. We are getting two Border Terriers at the end of September and I wanted to be sure they are safe and happy.
I will take some pictures and post them probably tomorrow.
