So, i took Yvonne G's and Tom's idea and built this hideout for my tort.

It is made out of wood for fence that i had left over (i recently replaced my old fence) and the top is made out of wall material.

I filled it up with dried leaves and placed my tort in front it and it went in and fell asleep there.

I spent almost the whole morning building it. (I used screws)

Aw...isn't it rewarding when they use something you've built for them, and they use it right away? Nice job.

I do. I just block them inside until it stops raining and warms up.

....... should i put something so she cant get out at night......

I'd be more worried about nocturnal creatures getting in, so probably wise to.

Yes. Lock them in every night, whether it rains or not, and on days and nights when it rains
