This PawHut tortoise house provides a dynamic and engaging environment for your pet. Tortoises can freely navigate between the ground floor and the upper level via the integrated ladder, promoting physical activity. The large ground floor offers space for foraging and general movement, while the private room provides a secure and dark retreat for sleeping or feeling safe. The elevated balcony serves as an ideal basking spot, allowing your tortoise to soak up sunlight or heat from an external heat lamp (not included). The mesh roofs not only provide shade but also ensure a constant flow of fresh air, preventing the habitat from becoming stagnant or overheated. For instance, a tortoise might spend its morning basking on the balcony, retreat to the private room for an afternoon nap, and then explore the ground level in the evening. The openable roofs facilitate easy placement of food and water dishes, as well as general observation without disturbing your pet excessively.
Your PawHut Wooden Tortoise House requires assembly. All necessary parts and instructions are included in the package. It is recommended to lay out all components before starting and follow the step-by-step manual carefully. A screwdriver will be needed. Ensure all screws are tightened securely for stability.
This habitat is specifically designed for tortoises. It is suitable for outdoor use on various surfaces such as decks, patios, balconies, and gardens. Ensure the chosen location offers a stable, level surface and is protected from harsh winds or direct, prolonged exposure to extreme weather. While water-resistant, placement in a sheltered area will extend its lifespan.
Daily Cleaning:
Utilize the pull-out plastic tray for quick removal of waste, uneaten food, and soiled substrate. Wipe the tray with a pet-safe disinfectant.
Check and replenish fresh water daily.
Weekly Cleaning:
Wipe down all interior surfaces with a damp cloth and a pet-safe cleaner. Ensure surfaces are dry before reintroducing your tortoise.
Inspect mesh roofs for any blockages or debris and clean them to maintain optimal airflow.
Seasonal Maintenance:
Periodically inspect the fir wood for any signs of wear, splintering, or damage. Sand down any rough spots if necessary.
While coated with water-resistant paint, consider reapplying a pet-safe, non-toxic wood sealant every 1-2 years to maintain its weather resistance, especially if the house is exposed to constant outdoor elements.
Ensure hinges on the openable roofs are functioning smoothly and lubricate if needed with a pet-safe lubricant.
