[Az tortoise compound]

how do you clean it? and fill it up?

So far...a sump pump, broom and hose.
We are working on a permanent solution now. It will either be like a pool's backwash system or just a fancy water-powered turd shooter
I will post more as we figure it out...

 

[ALDABRAMAN]

Very nice.

 

[Laura]

I wonder if I made something like that if mine would use it.. hmmmmmmmmm

Love it Mick! That is a beautiful group of sulcatas in a beautiful enclosure.

The one in the back appears to be snorkeling.

 

[Kristina]

Love it Most people just do not realize how much tortoises love water. I am so glad for them that you do, they look like they are having an absolute blast!

Oh wow, that is too cool! I think Bowser got a little jealous because they have a swimming pool of there own, lol

 

[dmarcus]

Very nice swim/soak pool they have. Nice group of Sulcata's as well...

 

[FranklinTturtle]

I was just wondering how often do they use their pond? Do they go in together normally?

 

[Jacqui]

Looks like all that time and money paid off. They are sure enjoying their new pool.

 

[jensgotfaith]

Good grief I just saw a glimpse of heaven!!!!! It's beautiful to see them loving it!!!

 

[Sky2Mina]

Wow!
They went in there together!?
AND
one doesn't show his head

Outstanding job Mick! This is one of the BEST enclosure add-ons I've seen yet...ANYWHERE!

 

[Torty Mom]

Wow that is AWESOME!! Love it!!

 

[Baoh]

Freakin' awesome.

I love seeing them torts in water! Do you have a hose running into it? I made a smaller version for my pen and it seems the only way to keep the area full is to constantly run the water, at a slow rate. Maybe you posted more pics elsewhere?
Do they all poop in it together too?
Nay

 

[RV's mom]

very nice indeed! We just water the lemon tree and RV has a mudbath...
I'd like to have something like what you made for the times we can't water the tree...
