Does anyone here have experience converting an old wooden doghouse into a tort shed for 1?
I'm trying to brainstorm ideas. I was looking at craigslist for a cheap house that I could convert into an insulated safe place for my Red Foot, so I don't have a repeat of this year where he dug in somewhere and was missing for 3 nights when the weather turned cold. I can do without the vet bills and all the crying on my part
Does the house need to be insulated? This isn't a winter house this is to protect from cold snaps under 60º (anything lower than that and I always pull him in).
How could I secure a heating element inside the house without burning the little house down?
What ways have some of you created a tortoise only door that helps keep out cats? (we have a real problem with dumb neighbors letting their cats run around the neighborhood and I'm constantly chasing them out of the yard)
I know others have suggested those little Igloo dog houses, but I would looking for something a little more sturdy and I'm obviously blind, because I can't find any info on dog house conversions on here.
