BirdieF18 · 19-02-2012, 12:38 PM

Hi i am just checking with everyone here first. outside right now it is very bright and sunny my thermometer is reading 11.5 degrees centigrade can a take my 4yr old horsfield outside. I know unfiltered sunlight is very good for them.

Thank You

She can go outside while it's warm, even of its just for half hour, just keep a eye on temp

Be careful with a hors field if you do let out for a short time they can burrow in very quickly!

Keep an eye on your tort in case digging commences, but a short spell outside in the sun will do no harm and may do good!
