Hi Phil
If he has nowhere to go to warm up then I would put him out but keep watch for when he slows down and bring him in to warm up. He can go out again if he warms up though.

Hi Lin there is a house and now a mini glasshouse for them to go into when cold. we have a lot to learn. we have 2 now. https://www.thetortoisetable.org.uk/sit ... =15&t=2750

I was just concerned about the temp difference. However they both went out, all ok and stayed under the glass after a while, warmed up and came out again.
Thanks for your help

Exactly as they should behave Phil. You’re doing a lovely job and these two are so cute. How lucky are they to be with you.
