Generally speaking, my tortoises go into their houses at night all by themselves. But those pesky Manouria just don't seem to care if its getting dark and cold. They sometimes have to be picked up and carried to their house at night.
So I did a little window shopping online to see what I could buy that would make it easier for me (than using the wheel barrow) to get them to their shed at night. The wheelbarrow won't fit through the doorway, so I have to pick them up, put them in the barrow, wheel it over to their shed, pick them up again and carry them the last 10' or so to the shed.
I found this neat little Gorilla Wagon at Home Depot for around $55. It has a tilt bed. Now all I have to do is put them into the wagon and pull it over to the shed,through the doorway and tilt them out of it!!
