I am getting a horsefield tortoise but I don't know how I should have it's enclosure set up. Should I have a indoor enclosure and a outdoor enclosure or just a indoor enclosure and take the tort for walks?

Please reply if you have an opinion

Getting hatchling or adult?
Hatchling should be in a closed chamber for the first few years with short outside time in a proper enclosure
Adult can live outside 24/7 with a heated hide for those occasional cold days and nights. If you live where there is a long cold winter, then a proper size winter indoor and proper sized summer outdoor enclosure is needed.
