Hello everyone!
Sorry, i've been away for awhile! :/
I'm looking for some help! I've got two russian tortoises, long story but i got them from a petshop awhile back not knowing they couldn't live together ect.. lesson learned!
They are split up for now but ones in a table and the other in a viv. Now i do want to build or buy a double tortoise table that will last me for a good few years!
But i've no idea where to start! I've tried looking online i couldn't really find any tortoise tables that are beond the starter table size! which is annoying so i'm left with no option but to build one!
If anyone has built a table before for these little guys could you help me out? Things that would help me is letting me know cheap but good wood to use, where you bought it from and i'm having difficulty finding planks big and wide enough for the floor! basically finding the materials or the correct terminology for the materials would be great!
I'm not much of a diy guy but i'm willing to learn and build! Lastly any advice on my new enclosure on whats a good idea to add to my double table would be nice! I've added a picture to show you what i'm looking for!
The table i've linked is
48″ x 24″ x 8″
Would that be good enough for a few years do you think? My torts are rougly 1 year old each!
As always, thank you all so much! P.S I'm from the uk!
