Hi I'm new to tortoises, despite knowing my way around turtles. I've fallen in love with sulcatas, but I live in CANADA. I've found the roughly 95sqft I have to keep one in, and my mom is considering it. In the mean time, I had a few questions I couldn't find answers for.
1) It can reach -35 in my area at night, and I'm in an attic. I've seen many people with heaters in wooden boxes, how many would I need to keep it comfortable?
2) Can a sulcatas have too much room? If I get one, it will be in spring, and likely a younger one. Turtles get overwhelmed and stressed by large enclosures, do sulcatas?
3) what are some hide options? I've seen people use dog crates or what appears to be Rubbermaid bins and litter boxes, are there others?
Thanks so much in advance! I'll keep you up to date.
