Hello! I have a Sulcata who is 2.5 years old. I have recently moved him outside full time to an enclosure. The enclosure is large (definitely large enough for him now and we will expand it as he grows). It has some pots on their sides for him to crawl in (with dirt in them), some succulents, weeds, grass, etc. He also has a shaded area and I made a little hideaway against the wall with cinderblocks and wood over the top for him to burrow. The first couple of months he seemed content to just hang out in the pots or next to them against the wall. Lately, he has started digging burrows. I am concerned because, although he is small now, I know he will get larger and I want to be proactive about meeting all his needs now to prevent problems later. Does anyone have any advice on building an enclosure that will meet his needs? I was thinking we may dig a few feet down and place some plywood in the hole, fill it back up with dirt and cover that with an enclosure? I was also thinking I should move it away from the house. He seems to like to dig against solid things like walls so I was thinking I may bury the enclosure walls down to where the plywood is so he can have that security of digging a few feet down against a wall without worrying about 30 foot long tunnels in his future. Anyone have any input before I start or any plans they would recommend?
Thanks!
Thanks!
