Becky, I just read your response and I was going to suggest you look at Niki's page. Her indoor set up for Teddy is wonderful.
The tortoise table she suggested is useful enclosure as well.
Instead of an all glass enclosure that tends to trap heat, lacks air circulation, and can be stressful for them to see out of, any other type of enclosure would be better.
As Niki mentioned, Rubbermaid containers, kiddy pools, tortoise table or other more open air enclosure is better.
They do like to dig so a deep safe substrate is needed.
If you have a secure balcony, a kiddy pool planted with some edible plants and grass in the spring/summer is a nice place for outdoor exercise.
Sorry we didn't offer more helpful advice the first time, but when you only have a few minutes to post, sometimes we can get short.
Do you need any other help with lighting, temps, substrate or feeding?
Heather
