Ok, our tortoise is coming next week.
Initially, we were going to have him live inside for the rest of the year as we live in the north of england and it gets cold.
However, perhaps it would be an idea to get an outdoor enclosure incase we have sunny days as sun is better than UV lighting (as far as i understand).
So i dont know wether to have a wooden tortoise house/run which can be placed on the grass and moved (we only have a communial lawn and a yard). Or wether to go for a rabbit hutch and put it in the warmest area of the yard. Has anyone else had success with a rabbit hutch? I thought it may be a good alternative as the neighbours have cats, and i feel the tortoise will be safer in there from out one year old!
Thanks
