This is the first time I've left her outside for a long period, should I be leaving her extra food? At the moment, as I just leave her to graze, I can't monitor what she is eating.
I brought her in today for a bath, to make sure she is hydrated.

Mine are outside all year round. They hibernate in my greenhouse, its heated in the early Spring until the threat of frost has gone. During the day they can come and go as they please. I turn off the heat around the end of April beginning of May depending on the weather. So most of the plants, weeds and grass are well eaten. So I have to supplement with extra food while they grow back. Although in this heat, its not going to easily.
I do tend to give extra food now and again during July and August because of the above:0)
As long as she has food available then she will be fine:0)
