Once your hatchling outgrows that its needing a home made larger enclosure or check out the pop up green houses.

Greenhouse is not sealed. Usually just a mental frame with a plastic cover. Is it very hard to stop tortoise going out?

I used them for adult leopards. I used a tarp as the floor and taped it up around the sides of greenhouse. Then I placed boards along the outside perimeter. Never an escape. Have used several different ones for hatchlings and adults.
I sulcata or larger it may need more reinforcement but they work great.

Or get creative and have 2 containers side my side with a large hole in both connecting with a large tube.

This is the largest container I can find in the market. But it becomes small when my tortoises grow larger. Any larger container I can buy in the market?

Thanks
You can buy closed chambers up to 8' long and 2' to 4' deep from a company called Animal Plastics. Here is a link:

Our TFO member Markw84 also custom makes closed chambers for tortoise owners. You could contact him to see if he can make one for you.

I have several of these. They're great for keeping smaller tortoises indoors.

Might help to remind us what species you have and how big they are now.
Most premade will not big enough for adults of most species.

This is a little outdoor enclosure I made for my little 9 month old sulcata tortoise to get sun outdoors. It
is just a 4 by 5 feet rabbit cage surrounded by
cinder blocks.
