Would it be that hard to build something? Four pieces of 6" by 1" wood nailed together and you have an enclosure. If you keep him inside you need to invest in a multivitamin especially calcium and D3 supplement. Outside they make there own D3 from natural uvb in sunlight. This cant pass through windows and without warmth and this being provided he cant process calcium and his shell will soften and his bone density will suffer in the long term. It is possibly to keep them inside but you must provide a hot spot of 30 Degrees and provide special lighting. He is truely better off outside. It is illegal for you to keep him as he is wild and not captive bred but I understand why you want to help the little chap. They are listed as endangered animals. Can I ask what your long term plans are for him?
