DIY viv
Posted: 02/07/2017 by Otis & plum

DIY project that came to a total of £5 to build.

5ft by 3ft and about 1ft in depth.. even includes room for our edible meadow we have grown for them in a propagator! Loads of room for hiding, burying and climbing, definatly suggest doing the same! 
We have one leopard and one Sulcata
It houses both tortoises with a divide down the centre, we were told that the two shouldn't be kept together so we keep them separate but from baths etc they seem to get in really well, I even caught them share the same food like lady and the tramp and who am I to stop that! 
Here are a few photos, give it a go yourselves!

Hello,

Yes simple enough. I've known people spend £100 or more on a table - crackers !! I hope they are in an outside pen in half decent weather.

However you've made an awful choice of species, both are far too big to keep when older, they have no place in the UK. Only the greed of the pet trade tempts people to buy them.
