Hello from a fellow uk member! So sorry I’m late to this thread lol, but I’m super happy to read your little woody is doing well
I can’t believe the first vet recommended euthanasia straight away!
Feel free to check out these links, hopefully they might come in handy
For indoors, this thread covers correct equipment(uvb, heating bulbs, lighting etc, definitely double check bulb types, folks unfortunately sold the wrong ones often), correct levels, appropriately maintaining the humidity, safe substrates, there’s lots of visual examples for everything, and the tortoise table link(super useful tool)
tortoiseforum.org
This includes lots of inspiration for an adult set up both indoors and out! The indoor bit has some good ideas to tackle indoor space whilst still providing the needed roaming room! The outdoor section covers multiple ways to predator proof to prevent this happening again, there’s lots in the comments too

Hope you and woody are having a great day!

Enclosure inspiration

Common keeping errors
Hello everyone! I’d been a long time lurker on this site long before joining just under a year ago now, over that time I’ve seen these husbandry issues come up time and time again, sometimes with dire consequences☹️ I thought this thread might serve as a good visual guide for these common...
