WHAT IS PROPER HOUSING FOR A TORTOISE?
A tortoise needs a run about 10 by five metres with opaque perimeters. If a tortoise can see through, he will try to get through and they are very persistent animals. Within the run there should be points of interest - different levels, mounds of earth, rocks and plants they can explore round, to keep them contented. "Practical Care of Mediterranean Tortoises", a book with a video gives instructions how to build this, from the Tortoise Trust.
