I put mine outside for a few hours a day (until I build an outdoor enclosure than he'll be out there all day) but I wouldn't recommend letting them in your house because they might poop on your floor and that wouldn't be good and it's just not safe:
My tortoise's eye is all swollen and blinking and foaming a bit. Also he keeps on rubbing his eye and when I soak him he submerges his face. Is it anything serious or is he okay? Here's a picture of his eye.
I found Herman!!!! I haven't been on the forum for a while because Herman my tortoise was lost for 6th months. My neighbor found him in their backyard an hour ago and he's really healthy. Never mind, I'm not sure if this is serious but his eye is all wired and foaming and he keeps on blinking.
