Default Tucker and Tillys outdoor enclosure before and after today :D

Well i've been out the garden all day sorting their enclosure....
I reaslised they never used the coldframe so i took it away.

This is their enclosure Before today....


I found this down the yard (rubbish tip in the wood skip) yesterday and asked dads mate who works there if i could have it ..


brought it home and put the netting on it....


Took the coldframe off today, Painted all the woodwork brown again...
Painted the sand box i found....
And now the enclosure looks like this


BEFORE under the coldframe was just soil....


AFTER today it's like this


Comments good or bad welcome
I will be adding plants etc soon as they've eaten em all (the slugs have too GRRR)

Looks good. Well done. My outdoor enclosure has lots of edible plants in (e.g. geranium, viola etc.) but neither Beryl or Bertha bother eating them much.

May I ask what is a cold frame? Is it just a cooler area for the torts? Look great byt the way, did you get the tort light form Morrisons?

Hiya, A coldframe is the greenhouse thing on my 1st pic. It helps the torts stay warm when it's cold. You can also grow things under it like vegetables/ seeds.

Mine never went in there and they dont sleep outdoors so i got rid of mine

Thanks for the comments everyone
