Hi I live in the uk and was wondering when I can put my Russian tort outside. What nighttime temp can I leave him out or do I need to bring him in every night. Thanks
Greetings... a lot depends, but first you will want to provide a weeee bit more info. How has your Russian been kept, what size/age is it , what kind of outdoor enclosure do you have.
He’s nearly 1( I think) he weighs 86grams. He lives in a wooden tortoise table with all the temps correct. We’ve built an outdoor enclosure with plenty of places to dig and hide.
I have had mine out (hermans) daily for last week or so. But I do have a cold frame with a heat lamp in so can stay in or use the outdoor space. I’m in Manchester. I have been bringing him/her inside of a night time. But straight out when I’m up for work. About half 5 am. I use an indoor rabbit/guinee pig cage so no worries when comes to protection as it’s a cage !
