That looks great! The inside is the fun bit. Can't wait to see it.

I know!! I spent nearly 3 hours yesterday creating a hill with log rolls holding it all together and plants and rocks on it. It's takes up a tiny bit of the box, god knows what else I'm going to put in it!! I totally underestimated how big it actually is. I might do another hill at the other side because that worked really well. I've got a wooden house, lots of edible plants that I saved from their old box, water dish, stones, bricks, slate, a big plant pot to half, that's it!! I need ideas.

It sounds like you've got it all covered.
Mine have little 'conservatories' that they love. I originally had cloches that I cut a door out of but they would move about so we've made them permanent ones with wooden sides and a PVC roof. It's ideal when it clouds over and they want to go and warm up.
Can't wait to see your photos.

Play sticks are sticks that are attached with metal and bend so you can make a hide. They are intended for small furry animals I think

Yep, I know what you mean. I think we call them hamster sticks.
Mine love the huge ones - comfy caves or something like that. They sleep under them, climb over them....great fun for torts!
