walk walk thud, walk walk thud, walk walk thud,
don't even consider keeping such a large (2 ft.
is a lot of mass) in such a small enclosure.
Tortoises are very active and need lots of room.
Everything is going to benefit immensely from
an outdoor pen, and the indoor enclosure is just
for maybe nights, or miserable weather conditions,
or possibly for a short winter.
Look at some small tortoises, maybe a russian
if it had an outdoor pen too. There are other
small types of tortoises too, but a 2 ft. one,
if you could lift it into that cage, would be
extremely miserable to say the very least. niki
