: No idea why my posts are getting messed up.I'll try again!: Ran out of room, here's more for you Paco. : : : ........No you don't need chicken wire, but sink the walls into the ground at least 6". Redfoots don't dig much, russians can dig but if the pen is interesting enough they won't. Don't just provide a bare pen, add logs, rocks, plants and grass. Torts nibble on grass and long grass makes a great hiding place........ : : : : : : <<<<<<I think on the shady side I'll put the water bowl, one of the hidey holes, and some vegetation called "groundcover.>>>>> : : : ......Sounds a bit bare, torts like to hide, provide plants, logs, rocks etc too and leave some grass in the pen, not just soil!...... : : : <<<<<That's the only name that my mom knows for it, so I don't know if it's edible. Perhaps I could take a picture and someone on here would recognize it? That's a long shot.>>>>> : : : ....Try to find out what it's called, somebody might know....... : : : <<<<is if I could use 10-12 tall plywood, or do I need something like 1x10s. 1x10s are mighty expensive.>>>>> : : : ......I use fencing boards 10' - 8', not too expensive and easy to use. Put wooden stakes every few feet to nail the boards to. My 20'- 10' russian Pen only took 8 boards, the back wall is the house.We went two boards high, cost around $100....... : : : I'll leave the other questions for somebody else as I have no experience housing torts indoors. : : : Paco before buying any tortoise research well. : : : Different species need different care, Russians can't tolerate cold, damp conditions.They burrow and hibernate. : : : Redfoots prefer humid, conditions like to soak, enjoy having the enclosure misted on hot days.They don't hibernate. : : : The dietary needs are also very different.I have linked a Redfoot web site for you below.There are other species to choose from to, but you must research the care for each species. : : : Which State do you live in? That might help us try to help you decide on a species. : : : I commend you for asking questions before buying. Many do it the other way round! : : : Check out the Red Foot site below. : : : Terry.
