I have a red footed tortoise named Albert. I got him over 15 months and got him when he was 8. I kept him inside with a heat lamp and hes thriving. During warm sunny days I would put him outside in the grass where he has adequate shelter from the sun and a bowl of his favorite food and water. As soon as I turn my back he make a bee line for dog poo if he can find any. If hes unsuccessful in this mission he heads into the coldest darkest place he can find and tucks himself in....hes a BIG fan of the coal bunker just yesterday I left him over night to see would he come out when he got hungry or thirsty (he loves his food and water) but no sign of him to even move an inch! hes a happy tortoise but why is he fascinated with dog poo and dark cold places! I live in Ireland so we rarely get temp over 20 deg in the summer so it not as if its too hot for him
