Here's the one built with dividers to stop McKenzie and McDougal biting. Substrate is topsoil (80%) and playsand(20%) topped off with blue slate. House substrate is hemp.

This is when I first made this for my little Cherry Head.

Now the plants grew a little. He is still little, so I will use this for this summer, and next summer I will put him in the yard in a bigger pen.

Here is Ruby's outdoor enclosure:

It's a bit wet as the pictures were taken a few minutes after the enclosure was finished and the plants had just been watered!

Hi,

Here are some shots of my newly built tortoise run. At the moment I've built a hutch thats about 6ft x 2ft and 6" off the ground. As yet my two one year old Hermans, Seamus & Tallulah, only go out during the day time and at night they go on to their tort table.

My question is what sort of heating/lighting would you suggest for their hutch. As you can see from the pictures I have supplied the run with power by way of a weatherproof power supply box which is fused by an RCD fuse at the consumer box. This allows me to have four sockets for powering lamps/heating timers, thermostats etc. Should I just place a basking lamp at one end of the hutch and leave the other end cool or is some form of light needed up the other end?

Inside the run I have planted a couple of lavender plants and an hibiscuss along with loads of weeds as suggested by you guys. Any other things you could suggest would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance.
