Any suggestions on adding things to my Tortoise enclosure for exercise/reduce bordem? ? I have a hide-a-log she likes to climb over and of course crawl through; water bowl to climb in. Any other suggestions? ? ?

Thanks.

you could add a hill, some rocks, or plants to climb over or hide under. Just make sure whatever it is that it doesn't cause your tort to flip especially in the water or under the heat lamp.

Also change how you feed her. Like do you always chop it fine? Try sometimes leaving the leaves whole, so she has to rip it herself. Or use a clip and hang the leaf up, so it dangles into the cage like it might in nature.

As said, hills and rocks, and also pots with growing seeds (feeder weeds do really good). You could also place these away from the walls so the tort can roam behind them. The more interesting\less predictable it is for them, the better.

rocks, hills, slates, branches, logs, bolders, plants, pots, anything larger than your tortoise can be used.
you can buy chew-stick hides for hamsters?
