Hermans First Enclosure

**16 shells** · 14-04-2007, 10:16 PM

This is my first attempt at a tortoise enclosure, a lot of the materials are reclaimed from my nearest tip/refuse site,so i am pleased with that at least.

The dog kennel was exdisplay and damaged, so they let me have it half price

I;m not penny pinching for my torts just canny

Thanks to all the members posts on enclosers, which i pinched some ideas greatfully

This pen is for Maggie and Alec my Hermans so any advice or critacism is helpful to us.

looks really good, looks nice and secure with the lid(s)

A suugestion would be that maybe you could add some turf for grazing?

Hi thanks for the info, i made it so i can take more pavers up, and alter it as i go along, each pen is sectional,so i could add turf, hills ect

Thanks Paul

Excellent enclosure. Its good to see old materials being reused for tort enclosures. I try to use bits of old wood etc for mine.
