I didn't say this. Where are you quoting this from?You said this..."Our winters are long and cold with a lot of snow. I don't think an outdoor heated shed would work for our long snowy winters"
...This shed cost $2000 to redo for tortoises. The ambient temp inside stays at 85 degrees when it's frozen and snowy out, no matter how cold it is outside.
You don't want to build a shed like mine, so you make excuses.
But I can tell, because no animal has died yet
Also, tortoises need exercise to aid in digestion. I don't see that in a small night box.
My husband and I have watched many YouTube videos on tortoise enclosures and we have designed on that will hopefully accommodate all of Chip's needs.
Could I see a picture of your setup?oh yes, my tortoise loves leg rubs they certainly have their own personalities.
My enclosure is 4ft x 8ft and I can tell you, once she moved from a 4x4 enclosure she stopped being so restless. She is about 14 inches right now so probably comparable to yours
I can take a pic in the next few days and will shareCould I see a picture of your setup?
