Well, I finally found some pure cypress mulch and changed out the coco coir I had been using. It's cheaper and the tortoises don't drag the stuff everywhere like the coco coir did. So far they don't have any objections to the change.
Pic heavy, sorry!
Here's Sif (7 month old Leo) enjoying her Endive, Escarole, Turnip greens, and radicchio.
And Thor (18 month old Leo), the tortoise garbage disposal eating the same.
Full shot. Sorry, it's in a bedroom and it was really hard to get good shots. So I had to take many shots to show the entire thing well.
The enclosure is 6x4 ft. And it can be split into 2 halves. One side is 2x4, and the other 4x4. I usually only close it during feedings, otherwise Thor tries to eat all of Sifs food before she can finish! Here is the 2x4 side.
The opening between the 2 sides.
She has 2 hides, but really loves the cinderblock one. This is the side Sif is on if I split to feed them.
Here is the 4x4 side. You can see a red brick paver I put in there as well. It's there to help keep their nails filed down as well.
Here is a shot of the bridge I made and some more cinderblocks they can climb through. The bridge also serves as a hide underneath.
The backside of the cinderblocks. They can go through them, no dead ends.
And another hide on Thors side.
And then an opuntia cactus and aloe vera plant that seem to be doing well. I have a huge growlight over the entire enclosure as you can see as well for more light.
I will be making some more changes to it once I get some grass/weeds growing for the winter. Where Thor's water dish is, will be a container I'll be placing that will have some goodies. And I plan to have 2 going, so I can rotate them all winter.
