Hello all!
As some may know I have a 6 month old RF that I plan on moving outdoors for the summer. Here I will be posting pictures and ideas I have while the encloure progresses. I don’t have any photos ATM, but I’ll tell y’all what I do have so far 😉
Right now, I have the layout built and ready to tweak, make the walls higher, and RF proof it 😂
The encloure will be about 8x4’ and I am making it so that I will be able to move it inside if-needed 👍 in the meantime, does anyone have any decor ideas??

Redfoot are like other tortoises in that they don't appreciate the hard work that you do with the decorations. So I say one word. Hides. Provide hides. Places to hide. Since these can be climbed on. Place them towards the center of the enclosure.
Also incorporate some sort of a shallow pool and some flat slate areas for feeding and general nail and beak maintenance

Will do! Thank you. We have a TON of natural wood, rocks, and slate where we live. I’ll be able to do some cool things with those I bet!

Great just avoid building or placing anything right up against a wall. The tortoise will either climb out or try to and fall over
