That looks great! The inside is the fun bit. Can't wait to see it. :)

I know!! I spent nearly 3 hours yesterday creating a hill with log rolls holding it all together and plants and rocks on it. It's takes up a tiny bit of the box, god knows what else I'm going to put in it!! I totally underestimated how big it actually is. I might do another hill at the other side because that worked really well. I've got a wooden house, lots of edible plants that I saved from their old box, water dish, stones, bricks, slate, a big plant pot to half, that's it!! I need ideas.

Oh almost forgot, weeds to plant and play sticks!!

It sounds like you've got it all covered. :)
Mine have little 'conservatories' that they love. I originally had cloches that I cut a door out of but they would move about so we've made them permanent ones with wooden sides and a PVC roof. It's ideal when it clouds over and they want to go and warm up.
Can't wait to see your photos. :)

Play sticks???

Play sticks are sticks that are attached with metal and bend so you can make a hide. They are intended for small furry animals I think

Yep, I know what you mean. I think we call them hamster sticks. :)
Mine love the huge ones - comfy caves or something like that. They sleep under them, climb over them....great fun for torts! :)
