Hello,
I am researching the addition of a tortoise to our family. We are in Southern California in a cozy beach town. Our yard has the perfect spot for a tortoise pen and is already walled in on 3 of the 4 sides. My question is regarding predators. We have the following in our neighborhood:
1. Raccoon
2. Opossum
3. Hawk
4. Coyote
5. Dogs
We would obviously create a secure pen with a lockable top, but is there any size tortoise that these types of animals would leave alone like a larger species? Or are they all potential prey?
