The Viva Tortoise Table is a purpose-built open-top enclosure designed for terrestrial tortoises kept in UK homes. Available in Oak, Black, and Grey wood-effect finishes, it combines a practical, spacious layout with thoughtful features that make daily husbandry straightforward — without compromising on a clean, considered look in any room.
Dimensions and Layout
The 90cm table offers a generous footprint suited to housing juvenile and smaller adult tortoise species comfortably. The enclosure includes a full-length decorative glass panel along the front, which is easily removable for cleaning or access. A solid rear panel and toughened glass construction contribute to both animal security and long-term durability.
Sleeping Den
An enclosed sleeping area is built into the enclosure, giving tortoises a defined retreat that supports natural behaviour. The den features a hinged lid for easy keeper access, and the space is sized to accommodate a standard seed tray — useful for filling with soil or a suitable substrate to allow digging.
Lighting and Setup
A slim-line light bracket is included to suspend a dome lamp directly over the enclosure, keeping your lighting positioned correctly without improvised rigging. The table is designed with a minimal number of components, and assembly is straightforward — most keepers should have it built within 10 to 30 minutes.
Materials and Sustainability
All timber used in construction is sourced from recycled material or FSC-certified sustainable forests. FSC accreditation means the wood has been harvested in a way that maintains forest biodiversity, productivity, and ecological function — a meaningful standard, not a marketing claim.
Suitable Species
This table is well suited to the tortoise species most commonly kept in the UK:
- Horsfield's Tortoise (Agrionemys horsfieldii)
- Hermann's Tortoise (Testudo hermanni)
- Greek Spur-Thighed Tortoise (Testudo graeca)
- Marginated Tortoise (Testudo marginata)
Matching cabinets are available in all three finishes — Oak, Black, and Grey — allowing the table to sit at a practical working height while keeping your equipment and substrate storage out of sight. Choose the finish that suits your setup from the options on this page.
