We know cold drafts are bad for babies. But what about WARM AIR drafts?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Depends in the temperature, it’s better for it to be cooler than a tortoise being in a higher temperature than it should be.
Causing overheating
Wind is generally not tolerated by any animal. They tend to want to find shelter from it... be it a 1oz mouse or a giant elephant. Mostly coz it’s full of eye irritants, gets dust everywhere, and just is no fun to be in unless the plan is trying to go to Oz. A light warm or cool breeze is fine, but any strong winds are best avoided. You did the right thing.Hello, and thanks! Asking because I wanted to bask my baby under the sun to see if it’ll perk him up a bit, but there was a bit of wind. Temps were at 33C even with the wind but I’m not sure if warm wind is bad for him too so I just put him back inside. In any case he was still in his enclosure which I’m sure blocked out most of the wind.
