is there a screen on the bottom? Any issues with tortoises digging under? Thank you in advance

No screen on bottom and yes, my male Russian tries almost daily to dig under. I consider it a play pen, some supervision required. Also, it's not very heavy - it's sturdy just not heavy so a dog could fairly easy get to your tortoise(s). Right now I have a pair of young Russian's with plans to add 2 more females in the near future. With 4 yearling Torti's this will no longer be usable for me...space issue. Does great for daytime UV, but I personally would never leave them in it overnight or more than a few hours at a time without checking on them. Hope this helps!!

There is not a screen on the bottom. I have not had a problem with tortoise digging under, but I make sure it's on very solid, flat ground.

There is NO screen on the bottom. Our tortoise is quite little and so far has not tried to dig out.

no there is no screen on the bottom but this should not be used as a cage but rather as a "play pen". tortoises should not live in here, this should be used to take them outside to eat grass and have some sun. For an edecuate environment for any tortoise please buy or build a tortoise table. when i take my turtles out on this they dont dig, maybe because they are too young.

I have 2 red foot tortoises and mine don't dig at all. If you have box turtles, I would definitely recommend putting some sort of fencing on the bottom. Hope that answers your question. -Mike

No screen on bottom , chicken wire could be stapled to it , but I move mine every day and have not had a problem .

No screen on the bottom. The tortoise could dig under if they really wanted to. Also, a predator (i.e. dog, raccoon, opossum) could easily dig underneath or even flip it over. It really is just a "play pen" for supervised outdoor time, I would not recommend it as a permanent outdoor enclosure.

No, there is no screen on the bottom. I only use outside under supervision because of other animals we have and it hasn't been a problem. They do love to dig though so I would keep an eye out. Other wise an exceptional product.

no screen on bottom. It depends on the species and age of the tortoise as far as digging goes.

The bottom door is the same material. The only place where the screen is not present is the bottom of the enclosure, which is a PVC slab that slides out for easy cleaning

Open. The bottom of the cover is open to the floor. There is not a full enclosure.

There is fencing. Your gecko may get out through the holes. There is no bottom.

No there is a screen. Only if it fills up to the top with ashes. It's a very nice firepit.

It has never been a problem for us. The bottom is all screen so there is good ventilation.

The bottom of this composter is open, as they are supposed to be. I believe the larger ones may have some grate at the bottom. Hope this helps.

No, it doesn't have a screen. Easy enough to add one from Home Depot if you go into the gutter section and buy a small quantity of bendable screening. I used what I'm referring to on my downspouts which you can bend into shape if needed and this way you'll always be prepared if your having issues with dirt or debris.

Well, not an expert but the bottom was thick enough and nicely done. The walls were fine, strong enough for a strong and determined young tortoise.

We have 2 cats and have had no problems at all. The unit weighs a ton so there is no way they can get under it. However, if they are scratchers you might be concerned about the screens as they go all the way to the floor.

By that, do you mean IS there a bottom? It's open- bottomed, so they can access the grass. Mine are indoors, so I bought a replacement dog kennel tray for under them. Cleaning isn't the easiest thing ever. Also, the hutches are a bit small. My rabbits have one each, and they spend a lot of the time during the day freely running around the room. I wouldn't recommend this as the sole living space for a rabbit.

No the bottom of the litter box has ridges that are very low. It appears to be well made

It's possible that an animal can get out through the bottom of this item. The bottom is sewn in such a way that it comes with rounded pipes. The pipes are ment to slide in this area to keep the screen in place at the bottom. A strong enough wind would allow the bottom to be lifted to provide an opening for your cat.

Hi have both the playpen and tortoise house. I love them both. I would not recommend this for a leopard gecko. The screen holes are nearly an inch wide and your fella may escape. The bottom is open and he can dig under the sides. Also in the enclosed area the base is not attached and may also be an escape spot. Now if you took the time to replace the screen with a much smaller mesh, attached a board to the bottom and secured the enclosed area it would be fine. Question is-Does all that sound worth the price difference of another cage?

The bottom is open. We've had it up and in service for several months and the opening hasn't been a problem with bugs. If they do go up in there they come out/ fall out of the bottom so it stays quite clean. It's a good lamp at a great price.

If you think bugs will not burrow through this you would be incorrect. You can use any non organic topping for bug stoppage, but I believe it would be better to use bug screen just below the dirt. Decorative rock may look better on top then this.

The under sides are not covered. Bit you can't really see them.. Our cats have not had any problems with the texture of the tower
