Hello,
I'm considering purchasing two Zoo Med Tortoise Houses and connecting them for my redfoot. She is approximately 7 years old and her shell is about 8 1/2 inches long. I assume that I could line the bottom of the box with non-toxic plastic, to avoid rot issues from substrate moisture. I also was planning to partially cover the wire top to keep the heat and moist air in.
Marci's current enclosure is not cutting it anymore, as I am constantly battling humidity and mold issues. I live in a small apartment, so the size of her enclosure has to be efficient and compact. This tortoise house will be about the same size as her current home, so I don't think that she'll feel cramped. (I let her outside every day to roam around for a few hours anyway.) Also, I think that she will like the two hides. I was just wondering if anyone has had issues, before I make the investment.
Thanks!
