I am redoing my outdoor enclosure, my old one was 7x3.5 feet big, the new one after being done is going to be 7x4x7x4 feet, its a weird design but its way bigger. (My mountain tortoises are about 4-5 inches and i have 4)
Question: i was wondering if it would be a good idea to put like a mound of dirt for them to climb over, i know they naturally live in the mountains but what do you think? hill or just flat?
I also am putting a heat hide for cooler nights, a mini pond with a filter so they can have clean water all the time, a big cool hide on one end, and a bunch of smaller hides through out.
Also what else could i add to make it more natural?
Im going to take pictures as i go, so far i pulled up all the old boards from the last enclosure, tilled the future enclosure area leveled it. Tomorrow i plan to put the borders up.
Thats all for now.
