Hi all,
So after some time with my tortoise and reading and reading here I have come to the conclusion that much as it pains me lol my Tortie boy needs and deserves to be outside!! I have been trying to research the best enclosure to fit our garden and situation (having 2 inquisitive dogs). I am thinking of doing what this person has here if you follow this you tube link I have this exact pool, this log hide, this water bowl etc. I would plant some Russian tortoise seed mix I have and supplement their feed to. I would need to drill some holes in the bottom of the pool too for water drainage. I would also put a metal dog run type fence round the pool to keep the dogs away. Do I need something over the top like mesh to prevent hawks etc attacking the tortoise? I live in NJ. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mtak-rh53j4
Any help and guidance would be much appreciated!
