Don't forget to line it with pond liner first, or it will rot when watered. Soil is always the best way to go, jut ordinary soil same as they would live in normally. No need to get sterilised as they need to get some immunity. A coddled tortoise will soon become a sick one ;) Don't use sand as it can irritate eyes and keep well away from anything artificial, especially wood chips, anything pelleted or aspen. ;)

You can also seal tour tortoise tables with yacht varnish instead of using a liner. I have found that this protects the wood from the constant watering. I just reseal it on an annual basis.

Doesn't the water drip through the seams Kelly? Always open to new ideas. I do use a wood preservative, but have also always lined them.

I added the liner under the soil - does the trick.. a combination between his new tortoise table and the top soil he seems 100% more active and happier in his new home. Thanks for your help guys
