Hi everyone,
Our Greek tortoise seems to be waking from brumation, he’s currently in the fridge but I can see he has been moving around and heard him rustling about. I live in the South West UK and was thinking of taking him out on Saturday as the temperature should consistently be above 10degrees, however the night temperatures will still be low.
I was wondering if any other uk owners were planning on taking their torts out soon or am I being too hasty?! We also have a greenhouse and were thinking of putting a small parafin heater in there for him at night if it was too cold.
I have a basking lamp ready for him so he can bask if it’s too cold, but this is inside and we only have a small house (big garden!) so I don’t want to keep him inside for too long.
He’s quite a big tort (22inches) so we’ve never had an indoor enclosure...well we only got him last summer so this wasn’t an issue then!
thanks for reading!
