Broken plant pots are great for tortoises to hide in:0)
Can you not do half soil and half slate. The problem with thin slate is it gets very very hot. You need the thick slate for tortoises to bask on. It needs to be an inch or two thick, to be able to disperse the heat, rather than scorching hot:0)

Thanks. I will get some half pots for hides. Is the soil u have loose or compacted? My worry is last year the bigger run was half and half and they just dug down there too.
