New Tortoise owners from just outside detroit,mi

[countrytortoise]

Hi all,
Our family just adopted a 3-4 year old russian tortoise. He/she came with a cement mixing tub and we feel it is far to small for him/her. Going to build a table this weekend out of an old train table...any thoughts, comments, suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I'm new too and just got my first baby Horsfield so thought I'd say welcome...thinks there's of differing opinions on habitats but seems the general consensus is the bigger the better. I've started small (will last a year) but it depends on the space you have available...whatever you build will certainly be an improvement on the cement tub xx

Yes bigger is better. A newbie as well and my Redfoots have grown 1cm a month! I'm already rebuilding a bigger enclosure. this one too small...

Hi, and welcome to the Forum!

Take a look at the 'sticky's' at the top of the Enclosure section. There are some pretty good ideas in there.
