I've had my horsefield for 3 weeks now and he's roughly 1 Yr old he's currently got a wooden arch for a hide but want to build him something special what would you advise using to build ? I wanted to create something covered in green plastic plants but unsure of what glue to use and could I use paper mache ??

Your tortoise will eat plastic plants and could get impacted if it eats enough.

GE Silicone I is non-toxic and totally inert once cured. Safe even for sensitive salt water fish.

Hi thank you for the reply ive been told by the exotic place I got him from to use the eco plant that they sell and just watch him with it so I started it in his run and he's never nibbled it I will continue to keep an eye on him with it

Most people prefer plastic plants. Some will not eat my tortoise has a plastic plant in his enclosure that he loves to hide under.
