Zoo Med Wood Tortoise House

Worked out well for my sons tortoise. It’s big but not too big. Easy to put together. Great tortoise house.

With a few adjustments this tortoise house has worked out well for our tortoise. I was not pleased with the slatted uneven wood bottom so I purchased some laminate peel and stick tile flooring to place in the bottom of the enclosure which works really well for keeping the enclosure clean. I also removed the barrier to leave more free roaming space as our tortoise buries in the Aspen anyway he goes to sleep.

Amazing home for your Tortoise. lots of room inside and easy to clean. it will be in pieces when it arrives so be ready to build it. some parts had trouble lining up with the marked points, but i was able to force and flex the wood to match. i think some of the wood might have warped a little causing my troubles but looks great now.

William (my sister’s tortoise) loves his new home.

This tortoise house gives your tortoise a little bit of room to walk around in. There are NO glass sides, which is good, because tortoises will continually try to walk through glass to get to the other side. Someone else mentioned a yoga mat to line the bottom, which is an excellent suggestion, which I did as well. Be sure to get a UVB light and a basking light for your tortoise. A 100 watt bulb will work for your basking light. You will need a UVB fluorescent tube, as well.

turtl came alive when I got him or her a new house. eats better and moves around much more.

Excellent and easy to assemble and all pieces easily fit together. My Tortoises absolutly love it and they love being outside in this shelter not to mention how much healthier they are now. Two of these can be connected together for a Tortoise run and I plan on doing so soon in the future. Great product right here!

Easy to make and my sulcata tortoise sleeps in it

Fairly easy to assemble and very sturdy!! Swear by this!

I needed a quick enclosure for a baby marginated tortoise. Since Ive been in the field of herpetology and have build enclosures for many places I got this kit in a pinch. It arrived in descent time.. But was hard to build. By that I mean the wood splinters and is very thin and cheap. I screwed in one panel only to have it split easy right down the middle. So I had to fix that because Im not carrying what is close to 60 pounds into a NYC post office to return. The wood smells nice but its dry and brittle. So the screws (power drill worked better) crack the wood as they go in. I put down two doggie wee wee training pads inside so it does not hurt the baby with splitters. If you drop this after its assembled it can break very very easy. Its similar to the boarding used in cheap ikea furniture. Like the fake boarding behind structures, but still made of nice scented cedar. Zoo med is actually a company Ive used for many years, so I was let down after getting this. Its only temporary so keep that in mind when looking for a forever home for your turtles/tortoises.
