Hello!

I am getting a young Horsefield in a few weeks time, so wanted to get it right and have a few questions to ask!

1.) What is the recommended uv/uva output for a young Horsefield Tortoise(5.0 10.0? etc.)

2.) Do you have to have a thermostat and temperature regulator, or can you just have a basking/heat lamp and Uv bulb?

3.) At night does the Tortoise have to have a source of heat, taking into account that we are going into winter?!

Thanks very much, your advice would be appreciated!
