Perfect!
If you have electricity on the balcony you can add a heater with a thermostat (move them from indoors enclosure, for example) to be sure that he is warm at night.
Keep us updated!

Dandelion, clover,plantago, sugarloaf, scarole, hybiscus flowers,mulberry leaves, ananas, prickly pears, kiwi,tomatoes etc. He is very healty..we had a lot of sun this summer, 35-37 degrees in the afternoon all july and half august..he stay outdoor day and night from 28 of june. And finally he restart to grow!!4 mm in all summer but i think it is just the beginnig (for health and other problems he stop to grow for ar least 10 months)..but new growth is flat, we do a good job to maintain good humidity levels despite high temperatures.. he has now 6 years and 5 months..i hope continues his growth..i take for my father garden a testudo marginata this spring and he is 29 cm and 2,5 kg!!! At 7 years old..a monster

Thank you for the update! I'm happy to know that he is doing great. 4mm is a good growth and he has all chances to catch up with your father's Marginata
