Default What do your torts sleep in??

Hi, just wondering what you use as a house???
I brought my tort, santa, a guinea pig hut but the entrance isnt very wide so wont last long. He doesnt seem to sleep in it any way but would like him to have something. Im not very good at making things from wood otherwise I would build one lol, thanks

Playstix make really good hides and come in a variety of sizes... mine like sleeping under them, or you can buy lots of different types of reptile hides.
