Hi! I'm new around here, and I bought a couple of redfoot torti (I read this word here and I loved it ), and they arrive tomorrow night! I can't wait!
So I started thinking where I was going to do their enclosure, because my house has a huge garden, but because it is so close to the woods I'm afraid that a dog or a fox comes and kill them. But then I remembered, I have a balcony about 2meters of the ground, so I think it will be a good place for them.
The measurements are 3,30 meters by 1,40 meters, so I think it is ig enough for now.
I started by putting that lake plastic (I don't know how to say it in english ):
And then some wooden boards to make the ends secure:
Now I'm thinking about putting some tiles all around the balcony, and start to spread the soil. I'm going to use that green thing in the photo as their tub, it seems a bit deep for them, so I'll put some pebbles in there.
What do you think?? I still need help and ideas on how to do the rest, like the placing of the hide-out and the tub.
Also, I wanted to use a Styrofoam box to make their hide-out, do you think it will be ok, or they will try to eat the Styrofoam?
Thanks!
