Sooo i have these 2 Greek tortoises who are about 5-6 yrs old.
This year i've made an outdoor enclosure for them but i want to leave them outdoors all year round.
I live in Cyprus and At the moment 23 October 2019 it's 28 Celsius (82 Fahrenheit) daytime And 19 Celsius (66 Fahrenheit) Nighttime.
But in December which is the coldest month here The average Daytime Temperature is 17 Celsius (63 Fahrenheit ) And Nighttime 9 Celsius (48 Fahrenheit).
I know that this specie of Tortoises do brumate and also burrow in their enclosure which the bedding is a mix of soil, there's also a hut filled with dead leaves. And i also cover the top of the enclosure on rainy days.
Is it possible for me to keep them outside at those winter months? And if yes are there any precautions that you suggest me doing before they brumate outdoors?
