Hey everyone!
I've got a 9 month old Greek tortoise who's had a little extension put in on her enclosure about 2 weeks ago- At the start all I put in the extension was hay (she loves sleeping and digging in hay), and she seems to enjoy it. But now she spends all of her time in there.
(Doorway to extension) (Extension / Hay Paradise)
She started so much time in there during the day for about a week that I was worried she would get too cold, so have now put a ceramic heat bulb in there. I'm not sure what best to do - she clearly loves it in there, but she also needs light.
The suggestions I have so far are:
All suggestions welcome, (but I'm not prepared to remove all hay from her enclosure as she loves it so much!)
(For reference, this is the rest of her enclosure)

The suggestions I have so far are:
- Close off the extension during the day, so she can only access it at night - then manually put her under her heat bulb each morning to wake up
- Place a UVB strip in the extension so she's at least aware it's day
