So the question is in the title. I have a young sulcata, I was told he was a year old when I got him at the end of last August. I know now he was much younger, maybe more like 6 months. So he is probably around a year and a half now?? Give or take. Anyway he has an outdoor enclosure that is completely covered. He spends time out there every day but I always bring him back inside after a few hours. My husband dug him a little burrow at the edge of the enclosure to give him another shade option. It took our tort some time to warm up to it but he eventually used it a lot and even started digging down deeper/further. It has now become very difficult to get him out of the burrow and back inside because of how far he has dug. My husband thinks we should just let him live out there permanently. I think he may still be too young?
We live in the high deserts of Southern California, our weather currently is in the 90's during the day and 70's at night. No humidity really.
My husband is quite upset at me because I did remove the tortoise from the burrow today and make him come inside. Husband thinks I am making the tortoise feel unsafe and violating his sense of security/privacy...is this a thing???
