New secure tortoise den

[Daryn]

Ive had this idea in my head for a long time for a secure tortoise den/house that will be water proof, can be used for hibernation and rodent proof to protect our tortes.

If I dont get to make it this year I will defo get to make one next year, it will be made out of fibreglass, have mesh inbetween the cavity layers which will be filled with insulation.

I used to work with fibreglass for about 10 years, we used to make large dog kennels for the army/ police made out of fibreglass, its totally waterproof, it might sound over the top but its something Ive wanted to make for a while now for tortes.

Ive read about keepers having problems with rats getting in and attacking their tortes, so this is something I'm really keen on trying out soon as possible. It will be ideal for hibernating in a shed garage etc for those not wanting to hibernate in a fridge, with the addition of a small tube heater and thermostat set at 5c inside it would work out well.
