About this piece

We have been requested, yet again, to begin making Tortoise Hibernation Boxes. However, to my mind, washing powder and Cornflakes come in BOXES. We intend to call ours a Tortoise Hibernation Caddy. Surely upgrading from a box to a caddy must mean ‘Torty’ can now overwinter indoors, and not banished, yet again to that shelf in the garage. 

Initially we have one size of Tortoise Caddy on offer. However, as folks start requesting bespoke sizes it will enable us to judge the size requirements and then more able to settle on two or three standard sizes. To that end, should you require a bespoke size, we will gladly quote.

Size:
W 35cm D 35cm H 35cm
