Keeping tortoise warm with power outage

[wvgirl]

In my area we do have some tough storms at times. Yesturday my power was off half the day and half the night I kept the enclosure covered to keep the heat in best I could. But I want to be better prepared for when it happens again. Any advice?

lots of people use those hand warmers that they sell in sporting good stores for hunters

If you have a way to heat water, you can provide either a hot water bottle or fill plastic bottles with hot water and lay them next to the tortoise.

Everything I have is electric. That is a great idea. Thank you

Get a tub from home depot and put your tortoise in that for a 30 minute hot soak, he will absorb the heat and then go to bed most likely
