Currently it looks like I am getting one leopard, but I need help with the enclosure.
The enclosure is made out of steel panels, aprox 1m×1,2m. (This panel is the exeption, the others I have, have 3-4 rods about 10cm deep)
(The bottom wil be covered so that the tort doesn't see through)
I didn't expect to get an offer on leopards that quickly, so my enclosure planning is a bit behind.
I have the pannels to make a 25m² habitat, but I have a problem.
A great problem.
A 5 month old great dane.
Before I continue, I want to point out that having a tort and dog together outside is a BIG NO.
She has grown a lot, and is about 90cm tall.
Before I build the enclosure in its place I need to know it will be safe. The question being, what should I use to cover the top. (Something like steel wire mesh or something else)
I do take my other tort Sunny out to the enclosure, and I sit beside the enclosure, the WHOLE time and, watch my tort, consistently, eyes on him the whole time.
I NEVER turn my back, because I know that it only takes one misstep and that tort is gone. I also make sure my dog stays far away while I'm there, I won't take a chance.
(It has happened in the past, my previous tort made it halfway through the fence and was impaled by a boxer canine.)
So I know this extremely important to keep my tort safe, and I would appreciate any help!
