Hello all
This year I'm dedicating a part of my garden as a tortoise only zone. They will still get a free roam of the rest of my garden under very close supervision.
So the old outhouse(10x15ft) on left is coming down and I'm going to build a new insulated brick come glass house there that is heated etc leading to an outdoor area. old greenhouse is going.
So 2 questions, Can I leave that evergreen tree in there outdoor area or does it have to go. I'm guessing reds don't see evergreen in the wild.
Also something that I've wondered for a while now. The bottom part that comes down and around the patio bit is sloped quite a bit from below the newt pond(moving this, shhh Dawn doesn't know yet). Need to make this all secure and safe obviously, But how steep is too steep for tortoises. Do they like having hills to climb, What gradient is dangerous.
Thanks
Craig
