I think it's fine, I've never seen an indoor otter house with a pool before, usually they just have small shelters.

Indeed but we've discussed that before.
Seriously though, every otter house I can think of in the UK is basically just a shelter, at least these guys have a pool they can use indoors if they wish to. Are they normally better in Australia?

I'm with phoenix - it's tiny for so many otters and the lack of privacy, enrichment and natural substrate is alarming.

Well the doors on the back wall lead to off show dens and an outside enclosure too... There's more to pics than what meets the eye.

The one thing i really dont like here: Judgement of an enclosure from just one pic... You dont know anything about the exhibit, but some of you write if they were there when it was built...
Behind this there are backgroundcages. There is substrate, there is enough space, they can always use the outdoors...
