We've talked a lot about which predators to worry about when building outdoor enclosures. I met a new tortoise guy from here in Southern CA and he told me about personally witnessing scrub jays coming down and stealing babies. He also told me about catching bloody-mouthed ground squirrels in the act of eating hatchling heads and legs. He offered pics, I politely declined.
I've never had either of these problems, but felt it important enough to pass it on. I'm a big advocate of torts being outside, but be careful.
