A desert tortoise requires a spacious outdoor enclosure that mimics its natural habitat, ideally with a size of at least 4x8 feet for one tortoise. The cage should be secure to protect against predators and provide areas for burrowing, hiding, and basking. It should include a substrate of sandy soil or a mix that allows for digging, along with access to sun and shade, and a shallow water dish for hydration. Additionally, incorporating native plants can provide enrichment and food sources.
