Hi Nicola,
I love the enclosure you have made for your little man, it's fantastic! I hope you don't mind me asking what plants you have put in there?
I have spent the last few days making an outdoor area for my little Greek tortoise but it's looking a bit sparse!

Its not looking as good at the moment.
I have forget me nots - they reseed easily and your enclosure will be covered. I have a mallow, laverta. plantain (again spreads like mad/self seeds). Think there is a flowering currant, rosemary, budlielia, (all little pound shop buys but growing well). I was lucky enough to rehome some navelwort (but thats difficlut to grow). Pansy/viola, geraniums (wild ones again grow and cover the ground well). Dog violets are around at the moment. Sow thistle and teasel.
Seems a lot but gathered over time - i am trying to grow seeds etc but im not really green fingered.
I had all good intentions when i first started and sowed seeds in the enclosure but have realsied that i have probably been pulling up the young growth - so my efforts have been wasted !!!!
Good luck.
Are you in the UK

Thanks for that! Im in west Dorset, UK.
Theres loads of forget me nots/wild geraniums/thistles growing around the garden so I'll try and move some into the enclosure. I'm also not very green fingered but growing weeds seems to be my speciality!
