hello i live in a apartment and unfortnately where i live is a communal paved large courtyard, in the warmer months im in the UK i often spend time out in the courtyard, obviously where i live i have no way of building a outdoor enclosure, but was wondering in the warmer months would they be ok in a shallow unfilled paddling pool for about a hour to get some natural UV ? fully supervised and would you suggest i put anything in the bottom or would the plastic be ok for them ? i need something i can easily pop away obviously i dont have space to store something that i wouldnt be able to pack away each time ive seen some pop up easy pack away ones.

thank you

Greetings. Those little pools are handy for keeping a tort safe under a watchful eye. What kind of tortoise? Outside time in some sunshine is always a plus. Good luck

Hello thank you for your reply, i will be getting a hermann's this weekend, would you suggest anything on the bottom of the pool and also is it best to put a hide in for some shade or full sun would be ok ?

Hi and welcome to the forum, your torts going to need somewhere to be able to shade, so yes a hide would be something to consider.
