Hi
I'm looking at getting a Russian or Hermann tortoise in next month or so and am about to start building an indoor table. I have a space of 5 foot by 3 and have seen a few tables with ramps to a higher section. I have also read tho about tortoises getting stuck upside down. I'm going to be out at work 8 hours mon to fri so would it be safer to stick to a table without a ramp?
Also I was going to use a plywood base with pine sides. Am I ok to treat the wood (any recommendations the best treatment to use) ot would this be harmful for the tortoise?
Thanks very much
Helen
