Baby tort going outside in summer

[Hellis248]

Our family has a 2 1/2 year old Horsman tortoise. We live in England and were wondering whether it is safe/warm enough to allow her to be outside all the time from now on just for the summer months?

Hi Hellis248, welcome to the forum. What are the temps where you live?

Low temps I reckon and very unseasonal at the moment! We have kept our tort in most of the time and only put it in the garden when the sun is shining.
Hope that's what others do?!

reagardless of temps.. be sure its protected from predators if placed outside. raccoons, crows, hawks, egrets, cats etc,,,,,
