Building a perfectly SMALL TORTOISE HOUSE at Kamp Kenan!

[@sorasarielcl]

During the timelapse, i just love seeing the tortoises walking around. Also, your awesome!

[@Noedeltas]

Hey Kate, Kenan, and Tom! Seeing the radiated tortoises move around gave me the following idea for a video: timelapse of the different reptile enclosures to get an understanding and appreciation of their behaviour during the day! This could also be amazing b-roll to fill your intros and outros with.

The radiated tortoises are so gorgeous, that yellow is so vivid! Great to see them finally have a house 🏠 🐢

[@allisondavid6724]

Thank you. Great plan, easy to follow video. Benny is getting to big to put into a tote in the kitchen this year. I think I'm gonna do it.

[@finch614]

Hey kenan, maybe you can grow a succelent or gras or other plant carpet on the flat roof of that new tortoise house. Could make it look really natural. Keep up the good work!

[@Shaden0040]

Wow those tortoises can move and graze when the time lapse is on.

This guy amazes me . Is there nothing he can not do ?

[@bazinga3464]

Love how simple they are to build.

[@ankr3w1]

i found watching the tortoises in the background in timelapse very entertaining.

[@briangilman1937]

Good way to influence kids that want to build a tortoise house , don't worry about measurements, just half ass it

[@mjoverocker6072]

Another beautiful enclosure and it will definitely keep them warm and dry

[@armidillseventeen1703]

These tortoise are so adorable and i like the house design

[@cathyt144]

Very impressive. I admire your dedication to caring for the happiness and comfort of these awesome creatures. 🐢❤️😀

I think I really need to get a good and reliable toolset and buy a better quality lumber, thanks for the inspiration 👍💯🤙

[@KampKenan]

Thank you!

[@motojabe1]

Great houses but I wish that you would go over step by step on the roofs though.

[@msan9643]

This is something that I think will help my sulcatas get buy winter 👍

[@BC-kx5zb]

You're on a roll with all the shelters. I you gotto get a patent for prefab tortoise shelters. People would go nuts for them. Not only are they great for your tortoises, they look awesome for any variety of reptiles/mammals.

[@Dyrtbag68]

You could probably hinge that prop rod to either side of the roof albeit a smaller version and it would give you safer way to get in and out of the Rad Shack. Almost makes me want a tortoise myself.

[@jessicanorton3219]

Beautiful, may want to put a latch on it to hold the roof down during hurricane season so it doesn't fly open and break your house window.

[@erratichomelessmanwithagun6726]

Thats pretty neat.

[@FrostbiteRep]

The one thing I'd suggest is drilling a shallow hole for the pole to sit in when its open. Knowing myself I'd knock it over all the time lol

[@texasreptileswildlife1823]

Put a 2 inch PVC tube strapped with tie down to the piller on ur house next to the cabin so u can slide ur roof holder in and have it accessible when u need it

[@Eldoncoyote]

The tortoise in the beginning walking by hehehe

Beautiful! Love it! Thank you for such amazing ideas. Would never have thought to use garden divider logs as a log cabin for tortoises. Keep giving us awesome videos like these 😉

Those builds my guy. Hialeah, South Florida appreciates you!

[@lynnbonica4342]

Your tortoises are moving into some high class digs now! They look cool sitting around the property..adds a little something to the "yard". Are you building any more? Lizard add ons, maybe?

[@A1AAdventures]

Super Talented! You made it look easy

[@TexasJungle]

You do a great job taking care of the animals! I’ll make sure to film mine more often!

[@gg110888]

I would love a yard like yours. : )

G’day mate, loved the build. Just a suggestion, put a couple of hooks just above your door to hand your prop. Things like that tend to go walkies 😜 Regards Duzzy from 🇦🇺

Wish I could go back 20 or so years,. Always wanted a one of these guys never realized that came small . My daughter, and friend take care of our sliders so maybe we could invite a new friend into our home 💖

You’re becoming quite the carpenter! Somehow this reminds me of playing with Linkin Logs lol

[@IrieRogue]

Great design, it's so simple and easy! My dad always likes to complicate things with his elaborate ideas lol. I'm digging this, may build one myself!

[@belizeguy]

This looks great!!! Thanks

[@Matty.Disson]

Can you teach Paul caffarro & Jacob feder and the other kids on KZbin how to look after their animals properly please? You are such a good man and obviously highly educated on all kinds of species.

[@angelleal3711]

Kamp Kenan how are you sir, when ever I'm in south Florida I'm volunteering to help you out with whatever you need to do in your daily routine with the ranch.

[@quest2outdoors]

Did not realize how much your turtles move around watch them in the background they really move around alot👍 very cool little house that will help them stay warm hope you and your family had an awesome Thanksgiving😎✌

[@ShadowsReptiles]

Looks great 🙌🙌 love the vids keep them coming

[@cristinearias6613]

Question. You only insulated a small portion of the roof. Can you explain why and why just a portion vs the whole roof and walls?

[@Nanajoe19]

I wish this video was out last year when I had two sulcada tortoise, I did so much research on building a proper home n all I would see was the underground ones so I built one n unfortunately they didn’t survived our California winter I’m still super sad and feel super guilty about this

[@vulgarpupil4122]

I like watching the tortoises run around in the background at high speed

[@romeoserback]

If those are sulcata tortoises, that's only good for about a year or two until they outgrow that.

[@Wickedreptiles]

Looks beautiful! Abraham Lincoln would be proud! So what Keeps them in there during extremely cold night or maybe bad wind? Like a door that locks

[@fernm8251]

Loved this video such an amazing design! I must say im slightly upset i didnt get to watch the wire cutting through the foam😂 i hope that comes in a different video because that would be satisfying! Keep up the amazing work❤

[@tamiwright-carroll1662]

Nice. Have you thought about a tortoise & Iguana feed garden? It is a cost effective way to supplement, and super easy. All lettuces keep on growing, so one seed packet can last for years. I make baby tortoise grazing trays and set them right on top of it.

[@taeviansworldofreptiles3828]

Lol tortoise airbnb. Lol you should make a sign to put on or near it that says that XD

[@nomindwellness]

I’m building a small shelter for my baby sulcata’s indoor tank. Wondering if plywood is a safe material for them to be around, finding a lot of mixed info on message boards 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@michaelthornley]

Well done Kenan! Although it is still not big enough for me to sleep in when I come visit ;)

[@lizzw4216]

Tortoise just walking around not caring about what’s going on haha

should have done the roof to open the other way.. so you could check up on them throw the window when its cold :)

[@mikhaildrift]

How do you get your tortoise to actually walk in/out on their own? I live in Sacramento, CA and I built a shed for my tortoise but he doesn’t like his shed. He rather would hide under different crap in the backyard.

[@jaytee.tompkins]

That should keep them nice and toasty.

[@EpinyOfStormrage]

That would work great as a dog house as well.

[@harrystarling3639]

Hi Kenan

[@HorribleGamingFun]

man I wish Australia had tortoises Y__Y

[@floridaLise]

I will try this. What I need is an enclosure inside an enclosure because I lock my tortoise in "the shed" every night but he really needs a corner to bury himself with substrate to get comfy. Right now he is outgrowing a plastic upside down container that I cut one end off. I am concerned because he is scratching the concrete floor in an attempt to bury himself and he has worn his claws down to the point where he rarely walks around, I assume he might be in pain there. He's still very shy so I sense that he wants to be hidden and buried when he's ready for sleep. Someone recommended top soil, coco coir and a little sand for the substrate as I am allergic to hay. I hope someone sees this and recommends some tips - question: he sleeps in the corner, do I have to build log walls where the concrete walls are or can I just make a frame on the floor and create two walls with an opening on one of the walls? I still need to make a insulated top for the winter time. This is for a growing Aldabra. He just had a 5 year birthday and he's not that big yet so I'm not sure how large to make this. Thanks everybody!

Kennan, I have a sulcata who’s about 5 and a half now and ready to live outside. I live in Kansas City MO so he stays inside in the winter. But I have built him a new outdoor hut and it’s pretty nice for the hot weather we get here. I was wondering if u had any suggestions to make his outdoor enclosure predator proof

[@evachavez2638]

Just fence it.

[@cristinearias6613]

Enjoyed the house. But you might have shown each step and product.😮

[@tamiwright-carroll1662]

Still waiting to see Buttercup again. I just love her. She is so awesome. If she were mine, I would make her a huge, giant, enclosure out there near the pond, with lots of vegetation. But, that is me.
