    Aldabra yard expectations

    Just curious how your outside enclosure is and how the Aldabra is doing? I myself just built out a similar 24x8 enclosure for my 2yr old. I haven’t transitioned it yet as I’m waiting for the plants to grow a bit. did you put a roof or top cover? Any worry about coyotes or wildlife?

    Nothing yet... I put a grape by him and I believe he ate it. I started putting Mazuri and fresh greens as that was his previous meal and nothing yet.

    Thank you. He is outside in an 8x4’ enclosure. There is a pool section and shade section. I’m just worried if he doesn’t start eating.

    I purchased my Aldabra Peanut (daughter named him from day 1. Haha) a week ago from a friend. I saw the group prior to purchase and all were alive, well, roaming and eating. I picked peanut as he was the most interactive and active. He is 2yrs old Once he/she has been hiding a lot and barely...
