Looking for advice please
We inherited a Hermann tortoise who is 10 years old, he was in a vivarium however we decided to upgrade this to a larger one, kept to the vivarium as he was used to this, we are in the UK so he has an outside enclosure we can only use in the summer.
The vivarium is not quite 1 year old, all equipment was bought new, yesterday the bulb blew and it tripped the fuse in the heat lamp plug, we changed the fuse and bulb, it was OK for about an hour then happened again.
Current temperature is 21' so he's hiding in his little cave which he likes to sleep in, I've filled it with hay.
Can anyone please suggest what might be going on with the lamp and any other ideas how to keep him warm whilst trying to fix this please.
