Well spring is definitely here. Sheldon just turned 3 and weighs 23.5 pounds. Came through the first winter in his outside enclosure and shed. We will need to modify a few things for next winter. Definitely need to change out to a radiant heat panel as he is now to big to use a Che. He has been outside digging his burrow deeper we had to help him a little he ran into a rock shelf and Abraded his shell rubbing on the rock trying to dig them out. Glad the weather has warmed up we enjoy seeing him out and running around B7881705-E5E5-4FEC-89ED-EE85B5FE50CF.jpegED5064AC-92EC-4CA6-8836-31457DEF9580.jpegF87D6743-7587-4DC4-ADC9-9E91506EA464.jpeg

Thank you ? that exactly what I thought he was doing as well. We are going to modify the burrow so the lid lifts up so I can get him out at night it is to cold here at the moment for him to stay outside.

Well winter is part over and Sheldon is doing great he comes out almost every day to graze a little. His shed and nightbox have worked out perfectly. The only times he hasn’t ventured outside is when we got snow. He is now 33 lbs and will be 4 in April. It has been amazing watching him grow and see his wonderful personality form. Hopefully I will post more often A3221728-A6AF-4B96-B52A-A3962E638B11.jpeg0383D6A8-A9B8-4954-9E21-C05D0DBF6568.jpeg501CE73B-CCFA-4F22-9899-7D5F8C37F7E5.jpegF2D1FB11-E558-41EF-96F7-AC365AFF7290.jpeg

Well spring is here and we are having a traditional spring (snowing one day 80 the next) lol. Sheldon is now 4yrs and 36 lbs. we took advantage of the heated tortoise palace lol to keep my Mother’s Day hanging baskets. It nice to be able to have him graze on weeds and grass E329B3F5-9071-4C0D-B562-962872CD7FA7.jpegB1D5792D-8B6C-4C2B-9E5F-41482150C87E.jpeg
