    How to keep the enclosure warm

    I keep my Russian tort indoors in a sun room and I'm looking to keep him in there and not hibernate him. It's getting cooler and temperatures can be in the low 70° at night.

    Watermelon

I bought the testudo seed mix from tortoise supply a couple months ago and after two attempts to grow these weeds, I came out unsuccessful. I'm probably the only person on this site who can't...
