 Sulcata Owner PleasedApr 02, 2009
By C. Kenney
We needed a home for our hatchling African spurred tortoise (Geochelone sulcata). We looked at several pet stores in our area and couldn't find anything that he would not outgrow in a year. So we went online and found this cage, and decided to try it out. It was easy to assemble, all the parts were there, and most importantly Geo (the tortoise) is enjoying it immensely. It provides a den to hide in, plenty of room to roam, and protection. The only draw back I have found that if it gets damp (water bowl spillage) the wood can warp a little and the divider won't fit right. We had this happen, so we took a clamp and held it in place while it dried...worked like a charm.

Tortoise House ReviewSep 16, 2009
By Jason Hankins
Great overall product. Assembly was fairly easy though some of the threaded pieces needed to be cleared out of some remaining fabrication metal, which was easily done by poking it out with a small screwdriver. Another problem existed in the fact the main bottom sheet of wood was slightly warped. This made the side walls on the far end of the cage pull away from the end piece when the enclosure screen was opened. However, the cage still closed easily and lined up with the latches. The latches closed solidly and and when were closed...made everything line up again. This is a very nice looking enclosure. It is much nicer looking that a tupperware/rubbermaid bin strewn with lights and cords and such. We didn't want that kind of thing. The metal screen material of this enclosure is sturdy enough to support a nice florescent UVB bulb mounted inside (though use a low power 2.0 or such to make it safe at such a short distance to the tortoises). I am using the enclosure as a set up for baby redfoot tortoises and the need for moisture and humidity is great. So I lined the floor and walls of the enclosure with tiles. In the top portion of the "hide" area I have set up a heat emitter mounted directly through a whole drilled through the wood ceiling. The bulb sits inside the hide a safe distance from the tortoises and temps inside the hide using a thermostat stay at 88 degrees (ideal for redfoots) and the moist sphagnum moss substrate inside keeps the humidity around 75%-80%. Ultimately I am happy with the product. I would consider purchasing one for temporary outdoor tortoise playtime and two of these enclosures put together (as pictured on the box) would be a reasonable amount of room for baby tortoises to securely get some outdoor excersice (though no clear way to secure two end-to-end is apparent). I would recommend this product to others with the caution that one should be prepared to make slight modifications or at least be slightly mechanically inclined when putting the unit together should problems occur such as the ones listed above. Really beats the pants off of building one yourself from scratch.

 Nice new home for our Russian TortoiseDec 09, 2010
By Helen H. Ismail
We just got the new tortoise house yesterday. My 12-yr-old son put it together all by himself in about an hour, said it was pretty easy. We just got our Russian tortoise 5 days ago and she was in a temporary habitat. She seems to be adjusting fine to the new home, we moved her in this morning and she's discovered the dark, covered part of the house. She's about 4-5 months old so she has lots of space. The heat lamp and UVB lamp are clamped to the top screen, and plenty of room for her water/soaking dish and food dishes. The Tortoise House was just as we expected it to be and looks like it will be a very suitable home for our Russian tortoise.

Tortoise houseNov 20, 2010
By uawaldi
I wasn't sure what to expect when ordering this product. It took 10 minutes to put together and gives my redfoot tortoise plenty of room to roam and a seperate place to be secluded. I would recommend this product to anyone. I like it much better than an aquarium.

 Great except for some issuesAug 02, 2010
By skinnybonedog
"Tammy"
This would be a great house were it not for the problems I had putting it together. The bottom was very warped, one hole was not properly made and I had to gouge out wood to get the screw to engage the threads and worst of all, the putting together stopped all together yesterday when I was almost finish due to the fact that not a single one of the holes was drilled for the hinges. So now I have to track down my drill and drill the holes myself....grrrrr....like I said, great house but super sloppy manufacturing of the product.
