Default Tortoise Garage part 2

Well second layer is in
Had 2.8 ton of top quality top soil delevered
Still lots to do today, adding hides, water bowls etc etc

Its so hard to take a picture to show you how big it it




Red foots are having bark on top of the soil, its way to messy with just soil





Fresh out of the incubator baby ibera



Pancake ladys

Thank you
The leopards are let out every day, on cool days just for an hour to graze. Warmer days longer.
It was so expensive heating a shed and a garage so this way i just have to heat the garage and i will use the shed over the spring/summer

Wow it looks really good.

Do you have heating in the garage as a whole or just in their pens?
