The Swedish Protection Agency of Animal Rights state that a tortoise the size of 20 cm (~8 inches) should be house in an enclosure the size of minimally 1 cubic meter (1550 Square Inches)
The tortoise I have right now is 15 cm (6 inches) long and his enclosure is pretty near 1 cubic meter.
I've been given the opportunity to get a smaller and more fesable enclosure for him, though it is significantly smaller (around 30 %)
Is this size suitable for a tortoise like him?
What does the animal rights law state when it comes to sizes of smaller tortoises and what are your recommendations?
Cheers
