My hatchlings will live in this until they are a year old/ or big enough to not be picked up by a predator, I still have to build a top and my big girl is in there every now and then to trim the grass. I am going to build a large outdoor home for my girl but for now she gets the whole yard. This is 8 feet by 8 feet and is going to house two baby torts. I put all of these seeds in there and it is starting to grow really good.

Nice.

Anyone want to place bets on how long it will be before we see Brooke post an enclosure expansion thread? :)

may I know where did you buy those seed mix?

I got them from GrowOrganic.com
Herbal Pasture Mix 1LB
High Rainfall Dryland Pasture Mix 1LB
Organic General Livestock Pasture Mix 1LB
Premium Horse Pasture Mix - 1 LB
Forage Blend Dryland Pasture Mix 5LB
if I had to pick one not to get I wouldn't get the horse pasture mix because it takes longer to grow.. 9LB of seed for 30$ with shipping and all are loved by my torts

Looks Good, what are you going to use for shade?

I am going to put a hiding spot on one side but what is good about the high walls are they can go to the sides for shade most of the day and there is a tree near it that gives half the pen shade almost all day
