hi, no worries spoke to my husband about my worries, we have 2 cats so he didn't feel safe with tortoise table or indoor rabbit/guinea pig as they cld still put they paws through n cause stress so he taken a jigsaw to my viv he's cut all sides out n just left like a frame n taken glass out n we gonna mess sides, on top he's cut out most of it just leaving enough middle section where the light/heat bulb is... the viv is a great size for a hatchling or a juvenile which is wat we looking at getting so kids grow up with it n when its there turn to take over care the tortoise will b used to them.. thanks 4 ur advice .. | |
