Hi everyone, my name is Fred Savill and live in Kent in UK.
I bought a Red Foot about 4 years ago and was told he was about 3/4 years old at that time. His name is Harry 2. He is a big lump that currently weighs in at 8lb 2ozs. (Harry 1 was a spur thigh that got stolen from my back garden some 10 years ago. . Have since installed 6ft wooden fencing with concrete gravel boards that a tortoise could not dig under.
Harry 2 is in the garden 24/7 during summer and has a large tortoise table in a spare bedroom/office during winter.
My question is: As he hates (with a vengeance) being indoors what is a comfortable temperature for him to operate in outside?
It is currently 13,14,15 degrees c (not sure equivalent in Fahrenheit).
Would very much appreciate any experience/knowledge that anyone has. i could just leave him in garden till he hunkers down but not that brave.
Thanks in advance.
