Still working on outdoor 2 RT's enclosure.....I'd appreciate any comments you might have for me. This enclosure is 8x20 ft; edible flowers and Carolina Pet Supply tortoise seeds have been planted.

Additionally, I'm also looking for suggestions pertaining to a top for the big enclosure. I have seen the chicken-wire-hardware-cloth-toppings-on-hinges, so I have looked into this option. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Okay a couple of things I have questions or concerns on...

It looks like those bricks/rocks are being used to hold the side fabric up or atleast are just sitting on top of the rail. I worry that they may get pulled or knocked into the tortoise enclosure and onto the Russians. :(

Do you have a lip on the inside of the pen? My concern here is if they could climb the sides and get out. If I remember correctly in the first thread you had already addressed the digging out concerns, so no issues there.

Looks very nice and it's a very nice size for them. :) You should have many enjoyable hours sitting outside and watching the two of them. You worked hard on this enclosure and it really shows. I really look forward to seeing how it looks once the plants grow!

The bricks are coming down today because this morning we are working on the top for the enclosure....

They can't get out because we built the lip about 4 in. over the sides.

Thanks so much for the suggestions. This forum is awesome!!!
