Poly tunnel for warmth?

Could I use a small poly tunnel to helps tort heat up on colder days when she is outside?? All ideas welcome, but don't have electricity source outside!

Thanks Vicky & Sydney xxxx

I know a few people who use poly tunnels, cloches or cold frames, with success, they retain the heat really well. Although in the cold weather they do need extra heat resources. How old is your tort?

Hi, thanks for that! Will do some looking now for a suitable one. Sydney is just coming up for 2. I always bring her on when the weather is inclement as she has a lovely table top with a metal halide light and a heat lamp as well. Thanks for the advice Vicky and Sydney x
