Does it rain in the wild?
As long as they have the option to go into shelter then its fine, just let them do what they like |

Summer rain fall is fine and i often leave mine out in it except for small babies that is.
Tortoises enjoy it and helps hydrate them naturally . Is it raining where you are its still burning sunshine here in Cheshire could do with rain weeds are dying off Darren |
