Turtles like to play outside, too! So give them the chance with this Zoo Med Tortoise Play-Pen. It has an “open” side, without a floor and covered with an open mesh, to let your turtle enjoy the sunlight, graze and maybe even hunt a few insects. The other end is enclosed, for shade and sleeping.
Sunlight provides your box turtle with UVB rays, which are important for bone and shell growth and overall health. Just make sure one end (the enclosed side) is in shade, you your pets can regulate their own temperature. And put water out for them, too!
Zoo Med recommends you not use it in the rain or cold weather. And it’s not supposed to be a permanent enclosure, just a safe way to let your pet outside.
It’s best for smaller animals and no more than two adult or six baby animals.
