WILDFIRE SMOKE

[DoingTheBestICan]

I’m currently many miles safe from the actual fires itself. However, there is very bad air quality.
Index value of 155 and considered unhealthy. My 6 year old Sulcata is in a dog house with a covering but will obviously eventually go out during the day. Is it recommended to bring your outdoor tortoises inside from the smokey air?

If you have a safe place to bring him in, do it. Breathing that smoke is no better for him than it is for us. ?

Depends on how bad it is. If its bad enough to bother me, I bring all the birds inside. I don't usually bother with the tortoises unless its really bad.
