Hi Blocke:

Welcome to the Tortoise Forum!!

What would you like us to call you?

Most of us have heated sheds or dog houses. You're lucky you live in SoCal, where the winters aren't very bad. Just get a pig blanket or other type heater and make the dog house or shed big enough for those long winter times, and you'll be fine.

Do a search and try to find "Bob's Shed." He's a big sulcata that lives in Oregon, where people don't tan, they rust.

Great advice already given. You could also bring him in the house if you have a large enough room to put him in. However the dog/tort house would be better.
Almost forgot WELCOME

Have you thought of trying spring mix and or grocery greens & Cactus, grass, weeds, or mazuri during the winter months?

They rust really?? I need to move there then cause my lupus doctor said I can't be out in the sun much anymore... you crack me up Yvonne!

Hello and welcome. I'm assuming you mean what to do with them in an outside enclosure. Here are a couple of ideas.
