Hi all. Need recommendations on an indoor enclosure for limited spaces? My leopard turned 5 on Christmas day(hatched date)...I need to plan for her larger home soon but I live in small apartment.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance...

Hi Billie:

Have you checked out the Enclosure section? Jacqui gathered up a bunch of pictures of our members' enclosures and has them pinned at the top of that section. There are two threads - one for outdoors and one for indoors.

I got a great idea! Bring him Saturday to the show and I'll just bring him to my Tortoise Ranch! That should help, right?

At 4 years old, how big is it? Where do you live?

I have a 2.5 year old leopard that is 10"long and 5lbs. Even though I live in southern Oregon, He has full reign of the backyard for his enclosure. I provide a water dish large enough for him to soak in, a feeding rock for when I offer Mazuri and a heated house for warmth and to lock him up at night.
The yard has grass and weeds for him to graze on, bushes to hide in, trees for shade and a secure perimeter.
If your 4 year old is my guys size (or bigger) I suggest you do the same. Give it a nice yard!

Just saw you are in an apartment.. do you have a patio or balcony?
If so, how big is it? I'd recommend you to convert the whole thing into a raised planter so the tortoise gets as much outdoor space as possible.
Do you have plans to move someday? To a place with a yard?
