Default Enclosure build

Hello everyone, Below is a link to a video I made of how I built my tortoise enclosure from start to finish, It was a long process but I got there eventually and im really thrilled with it, the difference in my tortoises behaviour has been amazing they really are thriving and thats made it all worth it for me as a tortoise owner, so I hope you guys enjoy the video thanks matt xx

Goodness Matt, what a great job! You’ve done it so well. Lucky torts!
Loved the aerial shots too. The tortoise paradise just fits in perfectly with the rest of the garden! I bet they had a brilliant summer out there. When did you finish it?

Watching tortoises makes all the hard work worth it:0)
Also seeing them be as natural as we can in the wild:0)

Fantastic, Matt! So pleased they had a lovely summer. There’s nothing like being sat watching them is there?
