Norman's new home

Norman211067 · 20-02-2008, 04:12 PM

Hi
I have nearly finished Norman's new home. My husband has to put the UV light in tonight (I have one just resting on top at the moment). I haven't put any plants in, because Norman doesn't like any (strange I know). I have tried him with numerous things including pansies etc, but he walks away from everything other than dandelion and plantain. Any suggestions on anything that should be changed.
Thanks
Rosie

Looks great!

I bet it doesn't stay that tidy for long!!

Is it an indoor rabbit cage, it looks a
good size?

It is looking really good.
Personally I think plants in a tortoise enclosure is a bit of a waste of time, as either they die,
or the torts scoff them<g>.

It is actually part of the tortoise table I bought from Kimbos, but I haven't managed to put the rest of it together yet!!! Hopefully I will have more time at the weekend, but I wanted Norman to be in it as soon as possible as his other table was a bit small.

I might have to have a look at Kimbo's! Charlie will be in need of a new table after the summer and yours looks
a good size. I agree with Sandy, I've never bothered with plants either!

That looks really nice! Is it a 140cm cage?

Norman211067 · 20-02-2008, 06:18 PM

Its the "Tortoise Table/Tray and outside Enclosure 1.2 metre long x 62cm wide" one.
Norman has had a good look around, and not trashed it too much so far. He is still awake, which is unusual for Norman, he's usually in bed by 5.00, so it looks like he might approve of his new house.
