Great Product, Poor Shipping
The enclosure is wonderful for my Russian tortoise. It is not nearly big enough for a full-grown or nearly full-grown male (he's about 10cmx10cm), so I am getting a second. The instructions for combining two enclosures are clear. You do have to put some care into assembly the enclosure since you are mounting screws to unmarked wood panels, but I found this to be pretty easy. I do recommend having a hand drill nearby. The Garden State Tortoise review points out that you're not really supposed to use a drill, but screwing in everything by hand took me a long time. They did gently use a small hand drill so I think I will too for the next one. My one qualm with this product is that the packaging is not really suitable for a product this delicate. The final enclosure is sturdy, but the individual wood panels can break fairly easily if not handled correctly. Mine came with a mostly cosmetic defect that I can correct with wood glue, but I worry that the next one I order could easily come with some fully broken panels.
Where is my review??
Repeatedly, I've left an honest review on this product and you deceive other buyers by NOT posting it. Just so wrong.
Turtle Fun
We are very pleased with our turtle's outdoor playpen. The design is so nice. We put a water option on one side and a bedding on the other. It's great to provide our little buddy with an additional enrichment. Snappy loves it!
Best poultry brooder I have ever had!
I bought one of these tortoise houses earlier this year for brooding the ducklings I hatch. I have used all sorts of DIY brooder buckets the past few years, but I never could make the perfect combination of lid security from my cats and dogs, for a secure way to hang the heat lamp, and for a leak-proof floor for very, very messy ducklings. This tortoise house is perfect! I use puppy training pads under the bedding for the ducklings to make it easier to roll up the messy bedding but then the box is easily wiped out. I am now putting chicks in it. I just ordered a second house so I can hatch both ducklings and chicks at the same time and keep them separate. Might be ordering a third soon to get ready for hatching goslings next spring. Thank you Chewy!
love it ! exactly what I was looking for
Mr Herman my Russian is love it so far plenty of room for him. Was simple to build and seems pretty sturdy. Paint was a little patchy but no too bad
Worth buying!
Love this item! Fairly easy to assemble, good quality. I bought 2 and connected them for 6ft of space my turtle seems pleased with her upgrade. Smells like fresh cut cedar. I shop a lot online and this was one of my most satisfying purchases.
Love this enclosure!
I Love it! Easy to put together. Used a screw driver. Easy peasy. This will be my hatchling enclosure while I build a custom tort house. Mine came in perfect condition. The smell isn’t bad, I kind of liked it as it smelled like damp pine or cedar lol it went away after a few hours. Torts love it!
Amazing habitat!
I bought two of these for my box turtles and they LOVE them! The two separate rooms are great.. no need for logs so they can escape the heat lamp anymore, they just hide out in their dark bedrooms now! There are boards that twist to hold the doors up for feeding and cleaning which is very handy. The "living room" area is large enough to house a large size water dish/pool, light basking area and food dish. The only thing I would change is that the separation wall doesn't go all the way to the plastic liner at the bottom so the substrate gets pushed out when they try to burrow.
Do not buy this product
The plastic on the side was broken when we got it. Definitely poor quality. I would like my money back because this is defiantly cheaply put together. I thought this would be a better quality tank.
Awesome product!
We are using this to house baby chicks. Perfect and the cost is so much less than a small chicken coop!
