I have recently bought a one year old horsefield tortoise for my daughter and on recommendation from the pet shop I got him from bought a vivarium with ventilation points on the side and back. It is three sides wooden with glass doors on the front, it has a UV light and ceramic heat lamp with a habistat system. the hot spot is set to about 90 degrees and cool area stays around 75 degrees. I'm worried after reading all the reports on tortoise trust that im harming him keeping him in there. I live in the UK in an old Victorian house which can get cold in the winter so had thought vivarium may be best but doubting this now. We only picked him up from the shop 2 days ago he did not eat on first day ate on second day and has not eaten today. Any advice welcome as I just want him to be happy and healthy. I'm thinking of getting a tortoise table as well if this helps? Thanks.
