Hi there, my name is Laura and I live east of Portland Oregon. We have had our baby tortoise for 2 days. It came from Tortoise Supply and we are very pleased with the service they have provided. I am a nervous new owner btw. The first day the tortoise was active, ate a bunch and played outside for a bit. It is being kept inside in a Tortoise house. We have hides and a Mercury vapor bulb for day (12 hours). I am a bit concerned about night time although it will not dip below 70 probably. Both nights the tortoise has burrowed down for night as soon as light is off. I am considering a heat source at night. Makes me nervous that it could get too chilled. Thanks for listening.
