Discover how we built an outdoor enclosure for our Horsfield Tortoises (Testudo horsefieldi)! From demolishing a trellis to digging up dirt, this project took a lot of time, planning and planting!

As Horsfield tortoises, or Russian tortoise, are great at digging we had to be mindful of allowing them to safely demonstrate this behaviour both with safety of wiring under the enclosure to prevent them digging out as well as micro-chipping them!

Would you prefer dandelions or lavender as your meal? 🧐

Considering I even have lavender tattooed on my arm, I’m going to go with the lavender. Have you ever had lavender infused lemonade?! It’s heavenly!

Wowowow I think your tortoises have a much cooler home than most humans! How special and beautiful. I love the layout and how you thought to surround the borders with plants they enjoy. So adorable!

Great job Shelby! I’m sure you had to consider the finan-SHELL impact to such an enclosure. I’m also glad to see you included a SHELL-ter for them. Can’t wait to SHELL-ebrate your next video!

Great question Claudine! Typically they'll burrow and hibernate!

@ShelbyOnSafari
@ShelbyOnSafari 3 года назад
Great question Tiff! We've taken them to the vets to get it inserted, like they do for cats and dogs! Just a quick injection, the microchip itself is about the same size of a grain of rice.

I don't know how shade is cast in this garden, but there needs to be permanent shady spots within an enclosure, else the tortoise can overheat and suffer. They cannot sweat or dissipate heat themselves, they need completely shady spots as essentially as they do basking areas. While this one has some shrubs and half a pot, on a very hot day this may not cool them sufficiently? I worry people trying to replicate this may not realise how important it is.
@ShelbyOnSafari
@ShelbyOnSafari 2 года назад
Thanks for watching and for your important comment. Indeed, we were mindful of this and utilised the trees and the fence that were already present to provide shady areas. Our garden doesn’t get a lot of direct sun and we are mindful of the weather should it be too hot, however you raise the important point of shade so thanks!
