:I had a nutty idea to make a 2 story indoor pen.

:The upper level would either be elevated a couple feet above the bottom but the same length and width on legs.

:Or it could be only about half the size bascially built right on top of one half of the pen making a large cave like area under a large open area.

:Then of course some sort of ramp leading from the bottom to the top.

:Obviously care would be taken to be sure the tort couldn't go over the top, or off the side of the ramp, and fall.

:
:Is this just too nutty?
:I can't seem to find a flaw in the idea (if built properly), but then again I'd figure someone else would have tried it by now.

:Any thoughts?
:

Most of my indoor pens have two levels-connected by a ramp. It provides more room for the tortoises to roam-and the seem to like the exercize the ramps give them.My house is small, so i had to go up, not out!
