More CUUUUTE Etsy Builds. I can help you design your own, or spruce your build with a purchased one.

This craftsman at BC Fab makes beauuuutiful barns. We can do something very similar for local to So.Cal, or help integrate their shipped barns into your greater plan.

This one from Petsgang on Etsy would be cute as a part of an indoor build for a smaller tortoise, or part of a yard fix-me-up.


Pools for tortoises??
Let's talk about creeks, ponds and pools. Yes, tortoises need them too! Tortoises need to soak regularly to flush out salts/urea or bladder stones can become a problem. Even desert tortoises! 

Kenan has the dreamiest creeks, pools and caves. This is a very simple concrete pool that can be hosed out daily or every other day with ease.

This one would require some constant water flow, agitated water helps a lot! Tortoises often soak when there are downpour in their habitat.

And the ultimate?? The most beautiful possibility? A creek or waterfall that is shallow for them. Kenan FTW once again!

Tortoise Digs: Condo

 You don't have to have a big budget to make a big impact! This space has lots of vertical, but not a lot of horizontal space. I had to get creative! 

These California Desert Tortoise habitats were made with primarily recycled materials. These indoor digs provide plenty of space, easy cleaning and appropriate heating and ultraviolet light for the species.  This is a great addition to a tortoise's outside pen for direct sun and digging time. The top one is over 20 years old and still in decent shape, too!

Everyone loves dinosaurs!

Pulled together from materials on hand, but still meeting animal needs


This tortoise does not mind plexiglass and does not climb it or stress about it.
