Kiddie Pool?

[gopherhockey03]

Was wondering if anyone has ever used a kiddie pool for an outdoor enclosure? I know they say if you make a outdoor enclosure it should be at least 10'X10'. I like the kiddie pool idea because I can move it where I want it and can tear it down in the fall! Any info would be great =)

Yes, just be sure to add wire around the outside and top to prevent escapes and drill several small holes in the bottom for drainage. Baby pools work okay for young/small tortoises, not so much for tortoises much over 5".

Here's a pic of mine that I use for my baby sulcata during the day. It's built with 2x4's in the middle and metal wire shelving from Lowes that are fastened to the wood frame. All 3 wire shelves open up for easy access. I have small holes drilled out around the bottom of the pool for water drainage. Anyways, thought i would share this as an example. Good luck!
