craigslist look up rabbit cages, and most the time you can find them for free, or really cheap, take the screen top off and use that. I use to do that.

Hi Miller. Has the lack of a visual barrier ever caused a problem for you? It does for me. Mine relentlessly pace the wire walls because they can see out.

I am not Miller, but here I have about 95% of the enclosures with wire sides. I started using these has to be around 20 years ago, before there was talk of "visual barriers". My experience has been once a tortoise is in the enclosure and gets to check out the wire walls, it does no more pacing then the ones in the solid walled enclosure does. Solid walls here have been wood (even one enclosure almost identical to the ones you got the idea from :p), to darker more natural wood (checking to see if color made a difference), cinderblocks and even the metal roofing sheets.
