Recently the climate around here is suitable to let my rt outside, so I am in the process of building a new outdoor enclosure. It's around ten feet by about seven feet. For the wall I have layered two bricks on top of each other so that he can't climb out. He has a saucer for water and a hide. I am planning to plant lettuce, hibiscus, dandelion seeds, and clovers, etc. My main question is, how do I protect him from predators? Do I need a bird net? Raccoons appear occasionally and could easily climb the wall. My rt is 5 1/2 inches. Is that big enough for his shell to naturally protect him? If not, how do I keep predators out?
