Well, I still have some tweaking to do, but now Bump and Tank have plenty of grazing without depending on me to let them out for a romp every day.

We added a fence and used retaining wall bricks to split the areas.

Are the cattle panels because of dogs? Looks great. I'll bet Tank and Bump really appreciate the added space.

Yes. I'll be planting some edible vines along the panels on the outside of the torts' pen to make it a bit more attractive. The dogs have the other half of the yard to play in. They never bothered the torts (thank goodness) but I didn't want to ever give them a chance to either. Plus, I wanted Tank and Bump to have access to more all day long rather than an hour or two each day that I let them out....and they do love it. Thanks Yvonne.

Thanks. I'm very grateful we have plenty of space (nearly 2 acres). Except for the cattle panels, everything was repurposed so we kept the cost low - maybe not as attractive as so many I've seen on the forum, but Tank and Bump don't seem to be into aesthetics:)

Tank and Bump are very lucky to have you providing such a large and green space to explore! I love all the lush, green grazing opportunities you've made for them (now I'm having 'green grass envy'-- it's all so very inviting)! The edible vines also sound really cool for them. Thank you for sharing~ it looks great! Jenny Dawn

Thank you everyone! I'm still working with it but gotta give the torts a break from redecorating for a while:) I think enclosures are an ongoing process and I'm so glad we finally gave the torts more room to roam. They are soaking it up! I have another separate set up started for Moose when he/she is big enough to spend more time outdoors. I'll post pics of that once its done.
