Outdoor enclosure safety
 
Hi

I'm just building a nice big enclosure for my two Hermann's, and was planning on them staying out 24/7. How do you ensure that they are safe from predators e.g. rats, foxes during the night? Do you have any advice for the type of outdoor housing that might be appropriate and safe?

Many thanks

I just leave mine in the housing they have, and block off the entrance if they are small, if larger tortoises I just leave them in their house. I do make sure they are actually in the house every night. My opening to their house is not big enough for a fox to get into.

Mine stay out but I always make sure they are in their houses with the doors secured.

Mine stay out they have a greenhouse that has a box in it to go in at night if they choose to stay out then it's their choice.

If you have a solid wooden box with a door that can be closed, they should be fine , or a green house or shed.
