A nice tortoise table-where to buy
Hi
Anyone got any good ideas where I can pick up a good quality table for my 7 year old tortoise, I'm new to this, I've only had him 2 days and he's sleeping in a plastic box ( not ideal) the problem I have is the ones on eBay are nice but with postage a bit dear, is there an alternative? Is it cheaper to get one made? Thanks Julia |

probs cheaper to make one yourself... do you have an old bookcase ....you can take the shelves out or just make one. my dad made mine though hes a joiner so pretty easy for him. mines made out of exterior plywood.

Sure there's a guy on here who makes Tort tables his name is Tom Booth,also the bookcase is a good idea or a indoor rabbit cage a lot of people use I brought mine off eBay 4x2 and that was £40 with free postage just to give you a rough price guide

Cheers, I love the bookcase idea
I'm going to town tomorrow and will have a look in the charity shops for a solid bookcase, can't imagine a cheap ikea bookcase lasting too long Thanks guys |

go to somewhere like B&Q get a peice of plywood for the base, they will cut it to your size, and a couple of lengths of decking or mdf for the sides, and thats all you need, should come to less than £20.
