My Sergei's First Night Outside

[eve walker]

I just put my little guy outside for the night by himself for the first time. He'll be ok, right? He has shelter, a hide spot, plenty of food to choose from, water, sunny and shady spots, and the enclosure is secure. Am I forgetting anything?

 

[mctlong]

Sounds like you've got it covered. He'll be fine.

He will be great! I remember the excitement/nervousness when I left my little guy outside overnight for the first time. He's going to be so happy!

 

[eve walker]

Thanks, guys. You're making me feel better. I just feel like it's such.a.big.step for my baby! Lol

 

[Laurie]

It is a big step!! It's going to be so awesome to go out there in the morning and see your tortoise....well being a tortoise!

I think he will be thrilled. When I put him out there, he got busy exploring right away, probably thinking, "oh yeah, this is the place that I love! Nice of her to put me back here..."

How did Sergei make out?

Good job! Your little guy is growing up isn't he? :')

Omg, I can't find him in his enclosure! I hope he's just hiding. I thought it was secure. I really don't want to be another Russian owner with a missing tort.

You can't find him?!

Ugh.... I hope your tort turns up! This is why I am going to have a major hard time ever letting my kid's stay out all night. And I dont know that I will ever let them stay out all night. Im to much of a worry wort! Plus I dont think Cooper would be happy staying out all night. He thinks he has to be able to watch me go to sleep before he goes to sleep. Plus my wife says he wakes up a lot during the night and just watch's me sleep then he will fall back asleep watching me sleep (my wife stay's up all night then goes to sleep when its about time for me to get up). Best of luck to you and keep us posted please!!

Just found him! The neighbor found him as he was mowing. We have about an acre, so we we're really fortunate. Sergei ia back inside for now...

 

[Laurie]

Sorry to hear this! Did you find where he escaped?
