[attachment=753]This is about the best site I can get for my tortoise in my garden
(Dad won't let me have it where I really want it!)

The pic was taken at about 5:30, if this makes a difference to the amount of light. I think it should get enough light throughout the day and there should be enough shade aswell.

Do you think this is a good place?
And does anyone know what the bush is in the corner? I have attatched a close up image

thanks for any help!

Rhododendren? (sp)?

I would think it would be ok, but you need to make sure they have plenty of shade throughout the day.

I think it will be a great place also. Just make sure you have lots of hiding spots like Jen said so they can get out of the heat if they need to.

thanks the hiding and shade spots are fine, I already have a wooden hut thing I made filled with straw. I'll also be planting plenty of plants.

I was actually worried about it not being hot enough, so how many hours sun do they need?

sorry if it's a silly question but this is the first year he'll be going out properly. I'll still bring him in for night, I'm scared leaving him!

Thanks
