Wut

Wut

on a site i seen summut like you say...

they had one tub that had a hole in the center of one side, and they put like a wooden ramp with carpet on....leading into another tub.

was quite smart and it worked great i think, as the comments the image got were like

WOW thats a good idea, and stuff like that.

BUT dont take my word...im not exactly high on enclosuring yet

yea im not on about that type... i mean the two separate tubs are right next to each other, and thares like a mini ramp that goes from one enclosure to the other tub.

So the tortoise wont fall off, what he does is he cuts the wholes As near as to the bottom but not right at the bottom as the substrates could slip through....BUT! the ramp is that shallow that the tortoise wont fall off....and the tubs are right next to each other so the tortoise can get out of the tubs, and the ramp is in both tubs.

click the link to view my plan of ramp...

OBVIOUSLY! it can be put more lower.
but thats my idea

i guess thats fine providing theres ntohign she can chew that will harm her, providing theres no drafts coming through and if you have other pets they can get to her.

i shut the door wenever i put her out and put the water dish and a basking bulb out. I only put her out after she eats and she’s normally under my bed or in my clothes.lol. in fact she’s out of her cage more than she’s in.
