    Super Sulcata Shelter of Summer
    Well its starting to warm up enough that I can put the torts outside every day....so naturally my GF and I redid their summertime hideaway. Everything in here is edible from the grass, to the geraniums, even the nasturtiums. I ordered this really really awesome grass mix from http://www.sulcatafood.com

    But I just thought I would show you what I built so they could get sun, food, shade and exercise all at the same time. Oh and there is a hardware cloth and wood frame lid that goes over the top :D

    Lemme know what you guys think!

    You may be surprised at how well they climb. Be careful they don't climb out and wander off.

    Nice set up though, very neat.

    I actually never have them in there without the top on, Im afraid of hawks, more so than them wandering.
