Where do you keep your tort?

Wyrd · 02-03-2009, 12:48 PM

Just wondering where everyone kept their torts, are they pride of place in your house or do you have them tucked away somewhere?

My tort is tucked away in my spare room, which he shares with my horse equipment.
In the garden he is almost right outside the back door, and his enclosure pretty much dominates the back garden, its also the prettiest thing in the garden

Dolly's table is in the conservatory. She was originally a birthday present for our 9yr old who wanted to keep her in her bedroom but we persuaded her it would be much better in the conservatory where we could all gather round and watch her all day!! Still deciding on the best part of garden for her outside enclosure.....

Zen lives in our outside loo!
A great way to use unused space, my father made me an inner door with wire mesh so Zen gets plenty of fresh air in the warmer weather, there is also a window so lots of daylight. But when the weather turned really cold and the wall heaters didnt keep the temps right, i moved Zen into our bedroom into a large rabbit cage.
It's great to be able to see more of Zen, but i feel guilty that the cage isnt as big as her normal outside space!
Zen also has an outside enclosure in the garden, a large rabbit run with shelter for the summer.
One bonus tho' of having the rabbit cage inside, is it will be perfect for quarenteening my new tort come the spring! Yay

Sydney lives in our living room. She used to live in the spare room but we get to see alot more of her by having her in our living room. Her tort table also gets natural sunlight all day as well as artificial UV lighting.

Then during the summer months, she comes with us to the allotment, where she has her outdoor enclosure to explore

Torty is in my spare bedroom, and when the weather is nice she has an outdoor inclosure not far from my back door

I have my two hermanns on my window sill which is huge, they love it when the natural sunlight beams through, they also have there uv light on too.

I keep them in the living room at the moment so I can pass them 100 times a day to see if they are ok
