Spring is here and I absolutely love seeing Herbie outside enjoying his tortoise travels and eating his treats while enjoying the sun.
Since he is way to small to let him be in the grass I have decided to build an outdoor box where he can be safe, have some roaming space and has no way to dig himself out.
I built it from plywood (no worries it will only last through this summer so I am not worried about it getting destroyed).
It is 6 x 2 x 2.
I attached two mover dollies to it so I am able to hide it if it rains like crazy or if I need to move it in more shade or sun.
Pixel approved.
The top will have part covered with plywood plus a hide out spot, the rest will be a frame with galvanized hardware cloth.
This is for him to be outside for few hours not to live in it.
Guess for really hot nights I could make it into a closed chamber with Che as I do have plexiglass that will fit over it.... will see.
Anyways this is what we have for today.
Will update when I add other things.
Waiting on coco coir blocks to expand ??
I will keep it cover when he is not there as I don’t want any other creatures visiting ??
Any suggestions, ideas are welcome.
