BIRASIL Wood Tortoise House, Indoor Turtle Habitat Reptile Cage, Tortoises Enclosure for Small Animals Lizards Hamster

I’m really happy with this wooden tortoise house. The wood feels solid and well-built, not flimsy at all, and it arrived in great condition. Assembly was quick and straightforward, and everything lined up properly. It provides a cozy, shaded space where my tortoise loves to rest and hide, and the size is perfect for giving enough room without taking over the enclosure. I also appreciate the natural look—it blends in nicely and doesn’t feel cheap or overly processed. Overall, this is a great quality tortoise house for the price. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a durable and comfortable shelter for their tortoise.

Great for the price. Super easy to put together in 45 minutes or less. Perfect for our leopard gecko habitat.

Just finished assembling the house for our tortoise, Tank, and there are a few things that may be helpful to know. First of all, it was fine. About what I expected for a mass-produced-in-China product. So, overall, I am satisfied. However, it was not perfect and here's the list of flaws, as I see it. - One small, minor scuff on the Plexiglas. It's in the upper corner of the back window so will not affect viewing enjoyment. - There is a fairly strong odor from the finishes and adhesives so I plan to let it air out in the garage for a couple weeks before moving Tank into his new home. - One small piece of the wood was split where a stop for the cover prop was nailed on. Easily fixed with a little wood glue and a clamp. - The wood is finished but was not sanded especially smooth. But it's fine. I'm just a perfectionist with stuff like that. - The adhesive that was used to attach the plastic tray to its frame was slopped on so there was tacky adhesive all around the edge of the tray. It needed to be removed or it would end up with substrate stuck to it. Plan on a half hour with some mineral spirits and a couple rags to do a thorough cleanup. Look, I get it. If I was a worker in a Chinese factory, earning crap wages just so bougie Americans can buy a $120 house for their tortoise, I'd be slopping that glue on, too. - There were no pre-drilled holes in the parts that receive the business end of the screws. By that I mean, say you are attaching a leg to the end frame. There are holes for the screws in the leg, but no holes in the frame. Same for the hinges. They are pre-attached to the cover frames, but no holes in the box. I suppose the intent was to just drive in the sharp screws and let them self-tap, but I strongly advise against that. The wood is hard and dry and some places are fairly thin and you could risk splitting the wood. So, I took the time to pre-drill holes. If you choose to do the same, here are the drill sizes I recommend for the various screws: "A" screws 7/64" "B" screws 3/32" "C" screws 1/16" Aside from the above, assembly was pretty straight forward and easy and the instructions are clear. After attaching the legs to the two end pieces, you'll want to flip things upside down to assemble the sides to the ends and interior divider. If you happen to have a box clamp that can accommodate 24 inches, you will find that useful to hold things together while you drill the screw holes, but totally not necessary. Once that's complete, turn it right side up and you just need to attach the covers. Position them, drill the holes for the hinges, and screw them on. On the positive side, the house is spacious, light weight, and seems sturdy enough. The plastic bottom is great for containing various spills, nonporous, and should be easy to clean. The legs are optional so it can set on a flat surface. There are convenient supports that pivot up to prop open the covers. I appreciate that an extra screw of each size was included. And the price is reasonable. Overall, I am satisfied with the tortoise house. It will be a fine home for Tank when he's not out roaming around the yard. Couldn't give it 5 stars due to the above issues, but the end result is what I wanted in making the purchase. I'll give it 4 stars, as long as the odor dissipates. It pretty much met my expectations.

I needed a quail coop/brooder box quickly so I ordered this one. It was very easy to assemble and it is the perfect size for quail chicks. The only issues that I have found so far is that this house it is not very sturdy and that the wood splinters easily. I was hoping to put this house outside but the wood does not have a protective seal on it so it would get damaged in the weather, I'm sure that I can easily add a protective layer. It is a perfect indoor house though!

I purchased the BIRASIL Wood Tortoise House a year ago for my adult tortoise, and overall, I'm quite pleased with the product. The enclosure offers ample space, allowing my tortoise to move around comfortably. The two-room design provides a cozy sleeping area and a separate space for basking, which my pet seems to appreciate. Assembly was straightforward, and I managed to put it together in about an hour. The removable tray at the bottom is a thoughtful feature, making cleaning much easier and helping to maintain hygiene. I also appreciate the lockable latches, which add an extra layer of security. One minor drawback is the quality of the wood. It feels a bit lightweight, and I'm curious to see how it holds up over time but it has lasted a year so far woth no issues. Overall, this habitat meets my needs and provides a comfortable environment for my tortoise. It's a solid choice for anyone looking for a functional and spacious enclosure.

Overall I liked this product but there are somethings I think it could do better. Pros: -Good size, lots of space for my tortoise. -Aesthetically looks really nice and adds to the decor of the room. -The metal grate at the top is perfect for lighting and heat lamps. -Side section is great touch, giving the pet a nice place to hide or sleep. -The enclosure having legs lets it sit above the ground without needing a table to put it on. Cons: -Although it wasn't hard to assemble I wouldn't call it easy either. Probably would have been nicer if the instruction had you attach the legs after assembling the frame. -Has a very pungent woody odor, not a bad smell necessarily but very strong. -The biggest design flaw for me is the removable bottom, this is convenient for cleaning the cage but it also doesn't make a very good seal. In order to keep substrate from leaking onto my floor I had to use painters tape to close the gaps.

Bought this for my tortoise and he absolutely loves it. It's very easy to put together and well-built. Also a very attractive color.

This enclosure is amazing and eay to put together. Everything fit as it should and with a drill, I was able to put it together in less than 30 min. My tortoise loves exploring and there is so much space for her now. Looks great, honestly I'm wanting to get another for my snake and switch him from his glass terrarium to this, it seems so sturdy!
