Hello, I'm new here so sorry if I am doing this all wrong or posting in the wrong place.
I am the proud owner of a 9 year old herman tortoise named Marvin and I am also soon to be the proud owner of my first home hehe.
First plan on moving in is to build Marvin an outdoor run where he can spend the warmer months.
I have drawn up a little plan for the garden in our new place but was wondering if anyone would be able to give it a look over and tell me whats missing etc.
The general idea is to have a walled 'flowerbed' style box across the back of the garden with a pond in one part (which obviously wouldn't be accessible to the tortoise, he's a terrible swimmer ) and the the rest dedicated to the tortoise run. The outdoor part of the run would be about a 1.5sqm and the 'enclosed' parts about 0.5x0.75m.
Thanks in advance for your time
