CtTortoise said:This is why I'm on this forum. I would not have thought of that! What is it made of?
Tom said:John, I speak from unfortunate experience, the plastic mesh will not even slow rodents down. It will certainly keep the torts in unless the rodents chew a hole through it.
I love that style of enclosure. Most of the day they get a little shade from one wall or the other. I wish someone around here had cinderblocks they wanted to get rid of...
Balboa said:Lookin' good John,
You're givin' me a kick to get off my butt and do the same. Spring is here. Now if only I'll get lucky and find some cinder blocks as well. I priced out enough to do what I want and had a little sticker shock a while back.
Neal said:Nice job John. I'm moving to a new house this week and I'll have to set up about 5 of these. You wanna come over and help?

emysemys said:That's why I always tell people to not use those rolls of fescue turf in their tortoise pens. I made the mistake of using a roll way, way back when...After a few years in the ground, the plastic mesh started coming up and the tortoises got their feet stuck in it. I could only imagine what would happen if I weren't there to rescue them, or if it had been a neck instead of a foot.
But in John's case, I think the mesh he's using is a heavier type, plus with the top soil over it, it should stay down where he's planted it.
