We're only moving him because it's too cold in the conservatory over night at the moment , he'll stay in there from the spring. I'll attach a pic of his enclosure

Thanks , I'm definitely sticking with one. I've also checked the temp in our conservatory and on a really cold night (last night) it dips down to about 7 degrees . Do you think the tortoise will be ok ? I've read that they dont hibernate until they're older (if at all) and I want to make sure it...

Hi thanks for your help , I don't have anywhere else . We're getting a full set up with a heat lamp and uv bulb. Would I put the heat lamp on during the day or through the night ?
