Sleeping arrangements

I bring my tortoise in every night and put her in my spare bedroom under a bamboo
cloche I have made.  Am I doing the right thing?

Hello,


Is the cloche at room temperature ? I'm wondering what purpose it serves.


Regards,
Tom

Hi Tom,

When I bring her in from the garden it is quiet light so I put a towel over the bamboo
cloche to make it dark so she will go to sleep. The room is very warm.

Hello k,


I see. Yes best to bring her in, with the nights being so cold.
Keep monthly weight records, as it's the best way to monitor her health.

Regards,
Tom
