Hi, you don't mention what species of torts you are interested in rehoming. That might help give a steer into the torts' needs.

Our greenhouse is 20'x12' and temperatures get over 50 degrees C in the summer, with all the ceiling vents and doors open (my med torts aren't in there in the summer by the way. In the winter they are and I have 2x 2kw heaters, 8x 120w basking lamps, 2x 120w tubular heaters, 4x75w ceramic bulb heaters. My greenhouse isn't insulated, it's only wood and single pane glass).

You might consider a smaller greenhouse, maybe with shelving around the top so you can grow weeds in trays on the shelving? and then give torts access to the remaining space outside the greenhouse.

If you look in the 'housing' section check out other people's outdoor enclosures for ideas.

If you have a limited budget for running costs, make sure you have enough funds saved for any specialists vets fees for your rescue torts - as a fair few of mine needed vet assistance.

good luck, karen
