It wasnt really a pet store. They just sold animals and he came with his extremely tiny cage.What about the pet store your parents got the tortoise from?

@Grace-Sophia Sorry for bothering you, but I asked my parents and they said that they know where I can find some wood to build his enclosure. I just wanted to be sure what kind of wood and how long it should be! Thanks!
thanks! Should I close the enclosure with wood or should i keep it open?No worries, I belive that I used thick plywood, the measurements are 52” x 58” x 13.8”
So roughly 5x5 ft (;
I have a viarium type setup, I’ll post a pic in the morning when their lights are on, it’s almost 12 am here in Texas. They also have out door enclosures for warmer days, but it’s really nice with my two year old Hermann’s because I can keep her at the right humidity level (;thanks! Should I close the enclosure with wood or should i keep it open?
ill maybe keep my top open if that's fine for sherdil.You will also need to be sure there is ventilation so your tortoise can breathe well and fresh air can enter and exit the enclosure (; wether that be an open top or vent holes.
I have a question about the enclosure. Doe for the s he have to stay in the enclosure whole day. Or can he go out sometimes?Here are the enclosures for my torts, I plan on making another one on top but for now one is in a temporary enclosure. These are NOT connected each tortoise has their separate space.
She can go out! You can defeinlty hang out out with her, I would highly recommend that if the temperature is correct out side you could also build her an out door enclosure to be in during the day, then bring her in at night. I will post a picture of my tort´s enclosures when I get back to my house.I have a question about the enclosure. Doe for the s he have to stay in the enclosure whole day. Or can he go out sometimes?
I do take him out a lot and he enjoys it!She can go out!

Building an enclosure out of wood is a great idea! Make sure you get those light fixtures for him like these with basking light and UVB you can type basking, and uvb light on petsmart website. It is important that the bubbles go away with proper temperatures for him. Baby tortoises need a lot of heat. And daily warm soaks.
All the plastic boxes were too small. But i know where i can find some wood. Ill build a 5x5 ft cage. But should i close the top or open it?Do we have any active members from Qatar?
That possibly could help with directing the family in a right direction.
We are able to give lots of advice however we are not able to help directly.
As a child I understand that you don’t have the financial ability to get things that you need.
We tell you specially what you NEED!!
There is unfortunately not much we can do if your parents say “no”.
I think building the wooden box is still probably one of the cheapest ways if you are unable to get a big plastic bin as recommended above.
Would it be easier if we make a specific list that you present to parents ?
Yeah can you please list the things i need to put in his cage? But can you show me the cheapest ways for them to work?All the plastic boxes were too small. But i know where i can find some wood. Ill build a 5x5 ft cage. But should i close the top or open it?
You will need a water dish, you can get a shallow terracotta dish at your local garden store, you need to be sure that the water is not too deep so that Sherdil will not drown. You will need a slate of some sort, even a flat rock to feed her on, this will help with wearing down her beak naturally. You are going to need the lights that were mentioned previously. You will want to use ORGANIC garden soil, if it has perlite or fertilizers in it it could kill your tort. You are going to want to get a hide so that she has some shelter to feel secure in. You can also think about getting a plant for the enclosure like a spider plant or pothos.Yeah can you please list the things i need to put in his cage?

I did ask my parents for a terracotta dish. But they accidently bought a plate for him. I put water and his lettuce in there and he drinks and eats. But I will definitely get a terracotta dish next time! Are you saying that Organic garden soil is fine for him as a substrate?You will need a water dish, you can get a shallow terracotta dish at your local garden store, you need to be sure that the water is not too deep so that Sherdil will not drown.

Organic Garden Soil will probably be the best thing that you can find where you live (;I did ask my parents for a terracotta dish. But they accidently bought a plate for him.
