BIRASIL Indoor Tortoise Habitat for Landscaping, Wooden Large Tortoises Enclosure for Small Animals

The media could not be loaded. This is an awesome enclosure—definitely a challenge to build, but totally worth it! Thankfully, my husband’s the handier one, so we teamed up and got it done together.Tips from our build:• Have a drill and a rubber/plastic mallet on hand to help fit the wood pieces together—just be gentle so the wood doesn’t split• For our Hermann tortoise, we had to aim for a minimum of 8x4 ft of space. We got two enclosures and plan to add a third soon.• For UVB lights, we grabbed three 1x4 8ft planks from Home Depot, cut them to size, and used chains to hang the lights so they’re adjustable.• We used the extra wood to make the setup look more finished and centered.• Before adding substrate, we lined the base with PVC pond linerWe aren’t done yet! We want to build a hide for her and maybe add some grow lights for some plants she can graze on.What we love:• Super sturdy• Easy to clean (open design!)• Bigger than your average enclosure• good quality• Looks greatSorta cons:• Definitely not easy to build—took us the whole weekend and a trip to home depot• You’ll need tools (and patience)

I used to be a carpenter by trade back in the day. I purchased this item because it was made out of all wood. It’s made all of white pine surprisingly all the pieces were cut and finished beyond my expectations. Everything fit together as it should all the parts were there. The instructions could have been a little bit better, but all in all it went together in about an hour, everything fit together perfectly. I honestly don’t have any complaints and I’m pretty tough on reviews. My thanks go to the company. Thanks for a good product surprisingly surprised for sure.

The final finished product is wonderful. I also bought wheels for it from HomeDepot so it’s easier to move. I wish I tacked the fabric up on the sides, but it’ll be okay until I refresh everything. I’ll just lose some bedding/ sand over the tucked edges.Building it was another story, and I’m an experienced builder from scratch and kits. The grooves were too tight for the slats to slide down, despite any amount of hammering. I ended up using a wood chisel to widen all eight slots. It took about 2 hours, twice what I expected. There was a little bit of warping on one slat, but it all worked out assembling as 1person.Really please with the final result.

I’m beyond impressed with this habitat. Our box turtle needs additional room and I chose this because it looked like I could add on at a later date by connecting 2. We’re planning to add wheels so we can wheel her outside during the summer and inside during the winter and fall. We’re also planning on adding a top lid for the wintertime since we have a nosey cat. That might be my only recommendation for this… sell a separate/additional piece for a lid. Could be something as simple as chicken wire. But other than this, we are beyond impressed with this!!! Great product!

I bought this for my sulcottq tortoise! Ir is made extremely well Assembly was relatively easy I am very pleased with the quality of the wood as well

Took over 4 people to build, compared to most tortoise enclosures, this had to of been the most difficult and tedious one I’ve ever built, it looks great and for the price i guess you can’t go wrong, but just keep in mind the slots for the wooden planks aren’t very wide to say the least.

I love wooden tortoise home. It is well built looks great, sturdy and easy to put together. I will buy another one to add when tortoises get bigger.

Perfect size, sturdy and strong, went together easily, instructions easy to follow and light fixture made hanging his lights so easy. Much easier if you use an electric screwdriver as it has a lot of screws. Very nice appearance. Came with a liner that was perfect for his substrate. Doesn’t have all the fancy decor but otherwise does look as pictured.
