I am considering a Russian tortoise and gathering ideas for an indoor enclosure.
One idea is to resurrect the storage cube/coroplast structure that housed guinea pigs for several years. The base and 6" walls are made of a very easily cleaned single sheet of folded coroplast (with the back wall 10" high), and the cage part is a set of storage cube panels zip-tied together.
I would also use the folding storage cube cover since I have a cat and dog and want to keep them out. It looks a lot like this but with a high back wall and the cover:

I thought that this might work well for a Russian tortoise since it allows for good air circulation, and I understand that the cool side of their enclosure can be room temperature.
Please let me know if you think this might be a suitable indoor enclosure for a Russian tortoise. I am consulting the beginner threads, and I know I will have more questions, especially about heat and light, as I continue to plan.
Thanks!
