High up, or low down?

KayMarie · 26-02-2008, 02:34 PM

Just wondered how high up/low down peoples tables were?

Mine or sort of coffee table height, I'm worrying more and more these days that it freaks them out that I am above them, and therefor sort of mimicking birds etc...

I'm thinking about getting a sturdy kitchen table to sit my tort table on top of, so they don't feel so threatened...

Whats everyone else's experience/preference?

and also much better on my back

Mine are on worktops in the utility room.
I do have a couple of large plastic tubs at the moment on the floor, which are used for any
tortoise waking up. They stay in them until they are warmed through and eating.

Mine are at least 30" to 36" off the floor. But I have little dogs, so they are out of sight.
