So this is my makeshift tortoise pen. It will only get used a few times a year as the weather here isn't great.

It's a 7ft x 3ft rabbit pen with 4 doors and a roof. It's made of sturdy metal and can be found on Amazon for £40. It's really safe but the only issue is its a cage that they try and get through. My solution was to wrap the outside in panels of wood. And sit the pen against a wall. I've yet to finish blocking off one of the sides.

The enclosure has a long-grass corner which he likes to hide in. And I've got to furnish it with hides and a water dish. I also have a wooden box house on legs with a ramp which will sit through one of the doors for when it rains.

Here is the enclosure and Marley enjoying the sun.

This is a great idea. With the sides partly covered this should work very well for a lot of people as an easy, but safe, temporary enclosure.

Thanks guys. It's really easy to put up as it just folds down. Thought I'd share it for any people who struggle to build things - like me!
He has much more things in there now and seems to really like being out.
