Outside Tortoise House

[Mert]

Yay no more igloo and umbrella! Mert woke up and we have been scrambling to get his house done. We used ideas from one of Toms threads. Its a fully insulated box thats lockable. Which is a huge relief! It is big enough to put a heater in if we need to down the road. Just needs paint and my daughter is going to decorate the outside. I will post another pic when shes finished.
How long do you guys recommend letting it air out before letting him use it? Also besides the fold down door, i wanted to put some rubber flaps too. Where can you buy that material from? Home depot didnt have anything. Or maybe i just couldnt find it. Thanks!

If it doesn't have to be see through, you should be able to find grey rubber/like liners in the bathroom section. They put it down after they form the sloped floor to the drain in stand alone showers. For see through, you can use the computer chair mats you get from Office Depot/Max and just cut it up.

Oh great ideas! No it doesnt need to be see thru. When my grandpa had him, he had a black doggie door and Mert always tried to get in the house through it. My pictures didnt show up. I will have to try it on my computer instead.

don't paint the inside and you wont have to "air it out"
