>>Anybody else use that indoor/outdoor carpeting on the bottom of their tort's enclosure? You know, the plastic kind? Seems like it would be really easy to clean & look good too.

I've been thinking about it. The floor of our "Tortoise Mansion" is concrete which gets too cold in winter so I use paper & old towels to cover the part that the pig blanket doesn't cover.
I've been thinking about trying machine washable carpet to cover that concrete because after going the hay route in the beginning I gave it up because it was messy, dusty, & nasty. What I don't like about paper & towels is that they get bunched up.. it's a hassle.

Our tortoise is around 60lbs right now, her "mansion" is in the backyard & she doesn't need an edible substrate like hay.
She has the lawn to use for hay.
If anyone has carpet or if you try it yourself, I'd be interested in hearing how it works out.
