So question, well a few. So I’m planning on getting an adult rhino pair. I’ve been working for about a month on my redfoot enclosure to retrofit it to house rhinos. It’s a 12’ x 10’ fully chicken wired in chicken coop with corrugated tin walls going about 3’ up the 6’ walls.
Would they be okay to live with the adult redfoots?
Would they dig out of this enclosure?
Receiving conflicting info on these things and would like some insight, if I can’t do rhinos in there I would be open to replacements to put in this giant enclosure.
I live in Deep South Texas. It’s 80-90+ for the majority of the year and our temps & conditions match that of Florida pretty close but a bit drier. I keep everything I own outdoors full-time and move everything into a heated barn in inclement weather.
I have a friend who owns a pet store that has a 10ft wide, 4ft deep, 6ft tall enclosure with a cyclura, a caiman lizard, 2 redfoots, and a couple box turtles that were all surrounders. Had it set up that way for years with no issues.
Personally I feel they need bigger,
My reptile outhouse is 10x8 I think, but an extra 2ft each way imo is not big enough to house one. They’re big guys and need a lot of space! Which is why I don’t own one yet Or a Rock as they’re awesome too.
If it’s free roaming the garden daily and that’s just to put back in at night day then I’d say it’s ok x
hey i am in Central Texas, just scrolled across this post and wanted to know if you put Rhino’s in your enclosure and if so, how are they doing? I would love to get a pair but havent pulled the trigger quite yet. thanks for any insight though!
! I can’t wait to see what you end up putting in it!
