You need a ramp, not stairs. A ramp with sides and little strips of wood on it for gripping so the tort can get up it. Not too big of a angle either.

Yeah thats what I mean, do you have any suggestions on how to make a ramp? And how i can angle it and how i would stick it up from the hole? Its my very first wood project so it came out ok haha

I'm not sure how your doing this. Are you putting substrate inside upto the level of the hole? Otherwise you would need a ramp inside and out if I'm looking at the pic right.

I know how to build them, I have done a few. I have no idea how to explain it so you would understand.
Search on the Internet "how to build small ramp" or even "how to build tortoise ramp". I'm sure lots of ideas will pop up with instructions and pictures.

Hey thank you for the response! But i was thinking of doing it two levels high enough substrate so it wouldnt be too steep for my tortoise. Something like that, this was an old post i saw for sale and it shows them connecting it together
