Hi all!
I haven't posted in a while, my husband got orders to report to Fort Rucker, AL with 3 weeks notice. But here we are now, we've been here almost a week.
Since it's so much more humid and feels cooler than Oklahoma, I really really want my torts to live outside! I have them in a TEMPORARY makeshift enclosure made of green garden fencing with a couple of hides. They have been really active so I assume they are living it up! I check on them obsessively but so far, they have not escaped. My RT is very persistent about climbing over the fencing!
The ambient temp has been staying around 90 degrees F and the humidity has been pretty high. It dews every night into the morning and they have been happily munching away on the grass.
My brain is still frazzled so I may be forgetting a few details.
What I hope to do is create a spacious tort haven with both of them in their separate areas, access to all the tender grass they want, and plenty of access to shade and water.
For the winter, I have their inside enclosures from when we lived in Oklahoma, I will just need more coco coir for them and they're ready to go.
Hiccup is the 8 month old Sully and Stella is the adult RT.
I love those little guys and their large personalities!
