I have a lid on my outside enclosures as there are so many predators - birds of prey, seagulls, naughty magpies and more besides. Also, having dogs and a lot of neighbourhood cats, I think it’s nice for them to be quite safe and not interfered with by curious animals with sharp claws.

I’m not sure how well Tunisians get on outside as I’m aware they’re more sensitive to temperature changes, but I’m sure Gordon is your man for that advice and I think I read she’s been outdoors a lot already from your initial posts.

Of course, now you’re well under way with your preparations, does this new member of your animal family have a name? We love details like that.
I wish I have started getting tortoises AGES ago!
Also someone of my own to do the donkey work, suppose I’ll have to do it myself haha
She’s been outside as and when it’s been sunny and the In-Laws have been home.
I’ll keep pestering Gordon for advice
Her name is Barbara Shellback. Or Barb for short.
My fiancé named her and it stuck
