We just had our first big reins since we got our bowsprit. I discovered, as did he, that his chosen sleeping spots are all low lying and prone to water logging. I'm not thinking about building his winter spot (we are in Cape Town, South Africa, so he will winter outside). It seems counter to all his behavioral tendencies, but should I think about building a mound for the shelter so that it doesn't get waterlogged? Or find some way to ensure the ground is well drained? I can't think how that would be though, a stony base isn't his style, he prefers to bury himself in sand and leaves.
I know most folk here keep their torts inside, particularly in winter, but I'd appreciate any insights.
