So, I've finally become an adult and bought my own house and after a few stressful weeks I’m all moved in and it is perfect!
Slight problem on moving day being Esmeralda’s indoor enclosure wouldn't go up the stairs, (why we imagined it would I don’t know) so after 20 minutes of three big men sweating and putting dents in my brand new walls, we put it in the garage.
My dad is now stripping it, replacing the tiles with some other kind of waterproof cladding, as it is SO heavy even in pieces, and soon it should be ready to move upstairs in her own room.
She has settled in absolutely fine, stomping around the garden for most of the day, (the weather has been awesome for the past 2 weeks too) grazing, exploring and generally seeming completely un-phased by her new surroundings.
Half of the garden is going to be fenced off for her so I can start transferring all my plants and create some shade as currently it gets sun all day. Anyway, here are a few photos of the garden I need to turn into tortoise paradise and her 'settling in'.
