Hello everyone!
since the temperatures in Austria are already reaching over 25°C I decided to put my baby hermann's tort (1,5 year old) already outisde.
I've had her/him since October 2017 so this is my first time letting the tort outside. She seems to be more than comfortable in her indoor terrarium (she's active, eats well) however when I put her outside on my balcony she seems very uncomfortable - she explores a little bit and then burries herself and doesn't really move.
I assume that this is somewhat normal since the tort is still young and this is a completely new environment but I still have a question. She'll spend the summer (probably from July on) at my parent's outside in the garden - completely new environment again.
So my question is, I would obviously like to keep her outside as much as possible since sun is better than a lightbulb but do you think it's better for her to stay in her indoor enclusure until summer and then be moved to my parent's so she doesn't change environments so often?
Thank you in advance for your advice!
