When I had mine indoors, I used the plastic seed trays so that I could change them more easily - particularly the one with the water bowl in! Although I did put the water bowl inside a large plastic pot saucer and this made a huge difference.
The idea was to grow weeds in the plastic containers so that I could swap them over. This did not work for me at all! They either trampled them down or they quickly died.
The one thing they did like was to hide under a small towel. They didn't bother with a hide. At one cooler end of the pen I blocked a section off so that it was also dark and they would go there to bed usually.
I found the tray idea on the Tortoise Trust web site and obviously put substrate in (at the time top soil and sand was being recommended, but I think most people agree just soil is fine).
I put in large smooth stones and they seemed to enjoy climbing over these, or basking.
Hope this all makes sense?
