Can anyone tell where I can get a hide that is tortoise climbable,flat on top for basking and an opening below big enough for an Indian Star Tortoise šŸ¢ to get through? This is what I have now and VERY soon he wonā€™t be able to get inside. Heā€™s been growing and thriving beautifully.The opening to his hide is 3ā€ wide. He is almost that wide where he will be too big to fit through. The top is flat so he can bask. The slope of the steps he can easily climb. I would love to get him another one but bigger. I checked everything I could find online with no luck.
Thanks

Some of our members buy a dish pan (plastic tub used for washing dishes) and cut a doorway in one end.

The problem with that he canā€™t climb on top to bask. Would this have to be buried being there is mo way he can get on to without gradual sloping steps?

Mabey you would just need to make a Hill on one side . Make a pile of borders and cover it in substrate to maintain a safe slope....???
