Planning a home for a baby Hermann's (Hercegovinensis). I haven't finalized anything, this will be my first time homing a tortoise, and hope to share here for more insight and different perspectives. Poke away!
Some things I'm hoping to source locally, to verify quality and ingredients, are:
Top Soil (clean, no additives), peat moss mixture, and I'm actively eyeing unique bookcases, or similar furniture, of solid wood minimum 2x3 ideally larger.
Here is a list of the other commercial items that I hope, along with the above paragraph, form a comprehensive set up:
Other thing's I hadn't considered as much are small furnishings (basking spot, water dish(es), plant/fake-plant, etc), specific hide construct (possibly built in), and I'd like to make an optional cover for the enclosure. Hoping to start growing tortoise food, and planning a small outdoor enclosure once this is all ironed out!
Any feedback, ideas, or tips much appreciate, thanks for reading my ramble!
