I have a question for those of you who are used to keeping your large torts outdoors in cold weather. This is my first winter experience with this issue.
I have a heated garage prepared for Tank.
However, we had a "cold front" come in last night. It's about 48-52F. He has retreated to his burrow. He's far down there and I can't see him. According to my temp gun as far as I can shoot, it's 55 degrees down there.
I placed a fan blown ceramic heater at the burrow entrance set to HIGH & HOT this morning. I'm hoping it will help warm the burrow. I'm going back out to check soon.
How protected is he by the burrow? Is this weather very dangerous for him?
