Rather than burrying the wood, I put pavers all around the inside perimeter of my enclosure. They will go up against something and dig. The pavers have stopped perimeter digging.

I also used pavers. They are inexpensive and don't rot. (I later found out that MY species of tortoise do not dig)

Well I already built it but I'll still look into buying pavers if he tries to dig can someone send me a pic of a paver

Could we see pictures? Russians are also adept at climbing, and the walls should be capped.
