we live in a Chicago 1b/1 condo across from a park with organic grass and weeds. In the Winter we soak orchard grass and Timothy hay for him and chop it up; thankfully he doesn’t eat as much during the Winter! Sully has free reign of the House and his enclosure is a big cardboard box with a pig blanket and the requisite heat source and “sun porch” (aka uv light). He has a dog bed inside his box he sleeps in. He gets 1-2 baths/day because this is when he does his toileting; we recently had to add a the second bath later in the day because he was pooping on the floor in various areas. I take him out daily for 2 hours to graze and explore, except when the temp is too low or too high. He is a nice fellow but uninterested in any kind of play. We didn’t have the right light bulb when he was little, so he does have some pyramiding. He lived in a proper tortoise enclosures, other than the light, from hatchling to 3yo. We don’t have room for a big enclosure for him, hence his current set up. He has his own reptile- vet and is a super star at the clinic. Any suggestions for improving his habitats are welcomed!
