Hi, this James. I am new here.
I recently got few baby rads about 7 mos old from local here in socal. I was told there were born in California Turtle Conservancy center. They were tiny, so I was reluctant to leave them outdoor without making sure they will be safe . After couple weekends placing them in outdoor cage while I was at home, I had opportunity to observe sun light, their activity, and possible predatory entry to the cage. I finally finalized this outdoor enclosure 64" x 64". I installed wood panels underneath the soil around the cage and also surround the entire enclosure to prevent animal to dig in/out or small predators to climb in/out. I also make sure there are always shades and water provided. I spread some grass-seeds and broadleaf forage seeds in there, so will expect some growth in a week or two. I bring them inside the house before sunset.
What do you think? any suggestion?
