My African Leopard Tortoise AKA Tortellini is going through a growth spurt. We will be moving to the hot temperatures of Las Vegas and I decided that the best home for him will be an outdoor enclosure. I am sure Tortellini will love the extra space to roam around in. I am going to follow a similar structure as the one posted here by Tom: http://www.tortoiseforum.org/thread...table-but-safe-outdoor-baby-enclosures.30683/
However, I am going to make my area bigger for him (I was thinking 8X10) Inside I am going to have an area with grass and the rest will be dirt with plants through out and a few places to hide under. Here are my questions:
1. What type of grass should I place in his enclosure
2. Can you suggest a few plants to place in his enclosure?
3. In your experience how long does these plants use when they are grazing? If this is available in his enclosure do I still need to bring him out food daily, or will he naturally graze on whats out there? How will I know that he's eating?!
4. Is it okay to let him out there all the time? When will Tort need to come inside?
5. Any ideas on creating a small shallow area for water that he could also soak in at will?
