I have 2 sulcatas, a little under a year old and they have started to eat grass. I was wondering what temperatures they could be outside all the time at? They are almost 350 grams.

They should not be outside all day until they are about 8-10 inches. I give them about an hour of sunshine per inch of tortoise until that size.

Once they reach that size, I make them a heated night box and they can stay outside even on cooler days since they can come in and get warm in their shelter. Like this: https://tortoiseforum.org/threads/another-night-box-thread.88966/

Whoops! I missed the “all the time” part. Tom is correct, yours are a little too young for that.
