Hi Everybody,
I have been browsing the forums for a few days know and thought it was time to sign up and introduce myself. I'm Todd.
We want to get a tortoise for our son Jake's 4th birthday (OK, I want a tortoise too!) and I'm looking for general tortoise keeping information and on building an outdoor enclosure for our soon to be new family member.
We are in Southern California - Fontana area.
My main concern in that we have a dog so I will need to build a fenced off area to keep the dog away. Will some type of wire fence be sufficient or do I need to use bricks like I've seen in other enclosures?
Is it a bad idea to try and keep tortoises and dogs in the same yard even if they are seperated?
thanks,
-todd
