We moved our 2 adult Greek tortoises to large outside enclosures over the summer. They have thrived in the new spaces. I live in Oakland, CA so we don’t get extreme cold but our nights are getting cool now and we’ve gotten as low as 38 degrees F. I moved them into un-heated indoor enclosures overnight for 2 of our colder nights recently but sense they were unhappy with being moved back & forth. I’ve ordered new heated outdoor houses but they won’t be ready for another month. Any advice for this in between time? Should I just let them be, even on cold nights? They burrow in their current enclosures, which aren’t heated but they might get a bit of ground warmth. Alternatively, I could get heat pads for temporary warming at night where they sleep. Please let me know any suggestions.
