The adult enclosure was fine, but I thought the babies looked dry. More kind of Red Foot habitat than Homes Hingebacks. Both Yellow Foots and Homes Hingebacks are true forest tortoises, the former found in the Amazon Basin area for the most part-loads of streams, and very little light gets through the canopy. The latter are often found in swamps and rocky streams, and are pretty much completely inactive-not hibernating, but think of it like just spending all day on the couch activity- during the dry season. With the Yellow Foots that big, they would be almost certainly WC like the Homes Hingebacks, so I would be very worried about parasites crossing, and the size difference.
Sorry to go off topic by the way.
