Morning all,
Does anyone here keep their tortoises outside? Either year round only during the summer?
If so what does your outdoor enclosure look like?
I have 2 redfoots that I want to start keeping outdoor only during the day and will be inside at night. But I'm looking for some ideas on how other people keep there's. I live in central ma so the weather is slowly warming up and I'm getting the itch to build something and this keeps popping into my mind. I think I want it raised off of the ground(neighbor feeds the stray cats) while I know having it raised won't fully stop the cats from investigating I'm hoping it deters them. They will also be kept close to the house as another cat defense.
Just looking for some ideas and some the downsides of keeping outside. The benefits of keeping outdoors are to great to not explore it since I now own my own house and it's an option. I'm also looking into keeping my large male iguana outside during the day as well(that enclosure would have to be more elaborate and more research needs to be done)
