Hello,
I have only had Shorty for a few months he is growing fast. Sadly I dis not know much about tortoises I just seen how he was living and told the kids I would give him a PlayStation for Shorty. Eight now I have him in a very large indoor encloser where I can control his environment. I am growing cactus pads and African grasses in my house. My worry is when he becomes to large for his table and has to be outside I live in Ohio where the cold last longer than any warmth. I am not rich so I am wondering what is an affordable way to house him outside when the time comes. Or should I find him a better home with someone who has the money to build a big fancy outdoor space. I have grown to love him, but I don't want to keep him if I can not properly provide. I will not let my feelings get in the way of proper animal Care. Please any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
