It is safe for tortoise to be outside in cooler weather?
Posted: 02/06/2013 by Charlie13

Hi I'm new to the forum but have had my tortoise for around 9 years. I was happy I was doing the best for him until I have come across the TPG and they are a few issues. Firstly my tortoise has never hibernated as this is what I was advised, he seems happy and is healthy. Secondly I keep him in a table top enclosure indoors. He has been outside occasionally but I am worried about him getting too cold. In typical UK weather ( I live in West Yorkshire ) is it safe to keep a tortoise outside through the day in the summer in various weather conditions? Any help would be appreciated :)
Thanks Sam
