Good afternoon people!
So a little introduction really, and my plans and your honest opinions about it. My name is Jamie i’m 26 and I live in Rotherham, England! I have 2 small dogs and am looking at purchasing a tortoise (first time) now, I have read in many many places that vivariums are good and bad, now I am looking to purchase a large vivarium for my little friend so they have plenty of room to manoeuvre and live free! I don’t really have the option of an outside pen due to my dogs, I don’t think they’d hurt it but I don’t really want to risk it to be honest! So it will probably remain indoors in a well ventilated, well secure room, away from my other animals. I just want your honest opinion really, is it humane to keep them in the vivarium? I will certainly take them out to be cleaned and hopefully, if things go well, purchase another tortoise friend for it. Please be gentle as I’m very new to this. I have done quite a lot of research but I’m just after honest opinions, if so, which tortoise is best for that environment? What can I do to give the tortoise the best life and be as comfy as possible?
