Tortoise
Table
( heated, indoor tortoise house )
After being
asked time and time again for an enclosure,
Our first option is to point to numerous "Care Sheets" and DIY
set-ups, this we feel is the best way.
Although we understand this is not an option for everyone, So we then point to
some high street retailers
but occasionally we find some are misinformed, purchasing everything from heat
mats to glass tanks...
For this reason we put together this basic long awaited pack to try and help those struggling
with the above.
Please note: We are enthusiasts not professional designers, cabinet makers or
experts.
We are also unable to supply
matching draws, wardrobes, bedside cupboards, or cabinets, if possible DIY.
