Joe's only allowed on the laminate floor or the tiles... I value my carpets.

Same applies to my son when he gets back from rugby!

If there viv/table is big enough they won't need this and is really not good for them. In summer you can let them roam outside in a penned area.

I would certainly keep them to one room for a start. Then buy carpet cleaner and spot clean after your tortoises.....simples

I only let mine have a wander following their bath when I know they've emptied themselves. So far, I've had no problems, but I don't have them out and about on the floor for long periods. With four children and myself dashing about all day, it wouldn't be sensible!
