The one they didn't touch gets used for hiding under, they love being under it. It will be interesting to see if the same thing happens next spring

Thanks,Alan!

Will buy few different ones,hope my tort likes them!

I think i'll pop in to Aldi on my way home from work tomorrow and grab a couple

I bought 4 and took a small cardboard box to transport them home in but that was useless 'cos they were so big!

I saw them last night, they were big right enough. My hebe's are dwarf ones but they obviously aren't

they will be okay if kept trimmed, they will get thicker rather than taller

I read in a tortoise book that all hebes are okay for torts enclosures as they none were toxic and were ideal for shade areas

Torty eats them. I have to try and cover the bottom as she climbs up into the branches and eats the leaves
