Hi everyone!! First things first, I am new to this forum and to tortoises, but I am so excited to be part of the tortoise loving community. I have a baby red foot, who is currently living indoors. However, I am planning to move him outside ( I've decided to assume that it's a him for now ) in the next six months to a year, once he's a little bigger.
However, if you live in the U.S., I am sure you have heard of the category 4/5 hurricane Irma currently heading towards Florida. Obviously, the power will be out, and I will have no way to provide him with heat, since I will not be able to turn on the lamps, and won't be able to bring him outside for sun, since it will be storming. I know they need heat to absorb calcium and digest food, so this is worrying me. I know the answer might be obvious to some of you, but as a first time tortoise owner I have no idea what to do!! Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!!!
