    Hi Kenan, rats can still get through the 1”x1/2” cage… please cover them with 1/4” hardware cloth. 40 years owning a rodent control company in Los Angeles

      @brendapatterson7123 Рік тому +9

      You are correct. We use 1/4 inch hardware cloth for all our chicken runs. Rats are not a huge problem in our area (yet), but it stops the raccoons and skunks from reaching through, grabbing the birds.

    Knowing Florida and problems with ticks and fleas, have you ever considered getting some guinea fowl, or even some chickens, they would be dual purpose, not only do they eat ticks, they produce eggs. Hope this new setup works out well for you. Thanks Kenan and Matt

    Nothing like a little ingenuity, creativity and elbow grease to make an impressive little nursery for the baby tortoises. Projects like that are so fun. You should name that little guy nibbles or chewy. Because he's been "nibbled" and or "chewed" on.

    • @danielled8665
      @danielled8665 Рік тому

      Just be aware rats can get through a dog cage bars, raccoons can also reach their arms through and shred your animal through the bars piece by piece, they did it to quail I kept in a rabbit cage outside once.
      Fine hardware cloth needs to be put over the entire outside. I've had too many birds lost to predators to imagine risking something so expensive as a tortoise.
      The cage he's using isn't enough to keep rats out, I hope he adds the hardware cloth.

    • @debraanderson7086
      @debraanderson7086 Рік тому

    A few carabiner clips might be a good solution to add additional safety latches on those baby tortoise cages; two on every door (one on each side). They also have the clips with the little screw bolt fasteners in the middle. Cheap, quick & easy.

We laid a huge three story critter nation rodent cage on its back and removed the ramps inside so its just a huge vinyl wire mesh enclosure for my hermanns tortoise. Escape proof so he cant dig out. That how we found him he escaped from somewhere or was let loose on the golf course near my house and made it to mine.
