Mini-FAQ

Can my tortoise get onto the roof? No—the roof is intentionally flat and non-climbable to help prevent falls or flipping.

Is it suitable for hatchlings? Yes—its low interior and footprint suit hatchlings and small tortoises; check your pet’s measurements against the sizes above.

Does it replace burrowing? It mimics a secure refuge; add species-appropriate substrate elsewhere if your tortoise likes to dig.
