We’re going to be leveling our back yard and putting in new grass and fencing. My husband and I have been arguing about where the new tortoise enclosure will be. Next to our house we have a long area where we could build it. It looks narrow in the pictures but I measured it to be over 5 feet wide after the fence is in. The pros to this location is that I look out the living room windows and see it at all times without having to go outside. It’s also the largest area we have to offer. The problem with this location is that on the other side of that chain link fence is a dog named Smokey. If you’ve read what happened to my Vasili, you will understand why this causes me anxiety. Is it possible to make this 100% safe? To keep dogs from digging under my fence? I need all the advice I can get. Keep in mind when you look at the picture that there isn’t a fence there yet. It’s going to be a 7 foot privacy fence with locked gates at both ends. And please don’t judge the dead grass that is currently there. The only other location is on the other side of my house but my neighbors on that side are obsessed with their landscaping and spray chemicals on a regular basis. Where the enclosure is now, it’s up against my house in my back yard and my husband won’t let me keep it there. If you can’t tell I’m really stressed about this. I want my now 1 tortoise to have the best life possible and get to spend the warm months safely outside. Sorry for the long post.
