Outdoor tortoise table build

Building a multi layered outdoor tortoise enclosure. This cage is set up for 2 separate species of tortoise, utilizing minimal space while maximizing functionality. The bottom cage rolls under the top cage when additional backyard space is needed or when attempting to protect from the elements. Both cages are on wheels which make it extra versatile and easy to move around for cleaning as well as bringing indoors if needed during hurricanes. Keep in mind we are not carpenters but we wanted to show you how we designed this cage system. They are a naturalistic setup with a automatic water bowl set up system. This can be great for red foot tortoise, radiated, Burmese, Russian, really any tortoise while they are still small.

Good job. I don't understand why so many dislikes. You care about the animals and are diligent towards their care so what's to criticize? We can't all have the 'Kamp Kenan' facilities but we can do our best. Well done.

Nice out door eclousrue but tortoises like to forage for grasses and weeds I made just using a massive square wood put wire mesh over the top ❤

They currently have a large outdoor area now where they can naturally do so. These were temporary set ups while they were still small since they are much larger now they can be in a natural open setting. I’ll post an updated video soon, stay tuned

Can i know what is that black sticker which you put?

[@tacltogether]

@mhammed sabir it’s a heating pad

[@sanjayhanson6523]

Hey I want to make the same set up I want to know your dimensions and what you used

[@tacltogether]

Hey sorry but I don’t have the exact dimensions that I used for this build.

[@zachwilson9824]

Why do people not like play sand?? I imagine it's because animals cant digest it or something?

[@tacltogether]

@Zach Wilson exactly since it can’t be digested it can cause issues with the gastro system as well as if it gets in their eyes can cause issues as well.
