can you keep outside tortoises inside in a box not a tank?

Answer 1

That depends on a number of things. But if it's for a short period of time yes. Or if it's a newborn. But the main thing is light and space it needs to have both so I wouldn't suggest you doing it.

Answer 2

Tortoises kept inside can be kept in many things, based on age. Smaller tortoises can be easily kept in very large plastic tubs, like Rubbermade Christmas Tree Storage Tubs.

Medium tortoises can be kept in 'tortoise tables'- simple wooden boxes on legs- imagine a bookcase on its back over a couple sawhorses.

Bigger tortoises kept indoors really need basically a converted room, or a big pen in a nice warm room.

Only keep a tortoise in a box during its hybernation. A tortoise needs room to move about freely when not hybernating. They also like roaming around inside the house. Make sure you feed it a well balanced diet. They tend to be partial to the color red. Mine loves red rose petals, watermellon, red cabbage. No tomatoes. Carrots need to be shredded. Lots of leafy greens. Mine loves grapes. Be sure its roaming area is safe. Mine meets me every morning for breakfast. Also make sure it has a shallow dish of water.

Answer 4

please don't listen to the noob (aka bored at work) you cannot do that its cruel, tortoises require much more space than a box, i mean comon can i take you outta ur house and throw u in a box? if ur gonna keep him inside a household please put him in a 40-50 gallon tank.

Hello! Outside turtles should be kept OUTSIDE!!! Let those poor turtles go to live their lives and get a turtle from a pet store or get another pet!

Answer 6

yes, but let them out when you can,
and give em a LOW HEAT, heating pad, NOT one you buy in a pet store, one your mom gives you when your sick, on low heat, they will be fine
