Med's outside
Anyone's med tort's still outside during the day . The herman's are, they have thermostated heat in hut, about 75% active. Put them in the heated shed for night time this week, as night temps are a dropping, like to try and stretch outside as long as pos, half the enclosure is covered with glass now, catching the odd sun breaking through.

I brought mine indoors tonite and probably thats them in now. Over the past few weeks they didn't leave the heated coldframe a great deal except when we had a bit of sun. Nite time temps are going down now and I don't want them to stop eating yet so I brought them in. If we had a really nice day at the weekekdn I would put them out but not much hope of that!

Mine,, at night are in the greenhouse, in a rabbit hutch filled with hay with a 4ft tubular heater right next to hutch, temp on thermometer dont drop below 13/14 degrees,,,
During the day they've got 2 24inch uvb strips no goodness in them just for extra light A Solar glo combined uvb 125wt,, plus now leaving tubular heater on day and night,, They're fighting me all the way, unless I get them up and in the bath they would be well away now, even after bathing they dont really wanna be out side, they just wonder round for a bit then find somewhere to hide,, Dont know if I'm stressing them out by keeping on disturbing them, Or should we just let them do what they feel is natural, hmmm sure it wasn't as early as this last year,, what do you all think I know its too long from now until april but maybe they'd be happier sleeping now and getting up early next year, xx
