Welcome! Sounds like your "family" is growing quickly. I see the need for lots of enclosure room in the very near future. :D

Hi Matt581:

Welcome to the Tortoise forum!!

Is your name "Matt?"

And may we know appx where in the world you are?

You have quite a tortoise family going for you there. Are you able to keep your tortoises outside year round?

if you can get those sulcata outside 24/7 that would be the best. build a heated shed for them. Inside in that small area is not good and you will have more problems.
if you have 5 acers you have plenty room for them, even if you have to seperate.
welcome!
