Hello! My name is Meg and I am preparing to purchase a red footed tortoise. While I will have an outdoor habitat for her, I am looking for advice on building the best indoor habitat with real plants. I live in Detroit so the majority of the year they will remain inside.
I am worried about ensuring that the humidity/temperature levels are adequate. From what I have researched, I like the look of wooden enclosures that include plexi-glass. Do you need to put in ventilation holes? What plants are good for the habitat? Any that are off limits? How do you clean it- or will certain bugs clean up the tortie's waste?
Any and all advice is welcome! I just want to ensure that I will be well prepared for my little tort before it comes.
Thank you in advance!
