Jerry moves out of his coldframe quite early these days and heads for the cover of the Carex.
I have been lightly watering the shrubs and grasses to ensure there's some humidity beneath them.
The weather has taken it's toll on the weeds in the enclosure but I haven't watered them intentionally. They would all die off similarly in the wild and the torts would eat the dry remnants.
That said, I have thrown in some plantain, mallow, hollyhock and campanula leaves and flowers, to supplement.
He usually eats around 5 to 6pm at the moment.
Also, I am giving baths most days...not that he appreciates them. He does go feral at this time of year, having been out constantly since May, and hates the confines of his bath!
