Should I be closing the hutch for the tortoise at night. We have a rabbit run with a covered top which it stays in but worry it’s not secure enough and could get tipped over by a fox.

Simply put, most folks with night boxes/hutches go out at night and shut things up. Morning, open things up. Safer & secure.
