    I need some wisdom on my tortoise.

    Our tortoise can go anywhere in the house it wants as it's proofed to do so, however, it doesnt and it chooses to stay in the room it's in. We don't have it set up jsut for the tortoise but it's tortoise proofed and has a large area in there of its own. Eventually when the tuff shed is insulated...

    I need some wisdom on my tortoise.

    Inside at night in its heat space and outdoor during the day with sunshine. The tortoise would go straight for the wood pile in the side yard (not even in a sunny space) and burrow into it and sleep there all day.

How big of an enclosure to you think I could put this tortoise in?? Did you read the specs I posted? Even our vet in southern California confirmed its totally...

    I need some wisdom on my tortoise.

    We just moved to Northern Idaho not even one month ago. Before that we lived in Southern California the entire duration of this tortoises life and it has always been this way. Even in high temp high sunshine days, it's just a grumpy skeptical tortoise that refuses to eat. Did you refer me the...
