I would say good advice from everyone here Charlie, and don't worry about your spelling, my spelling I'd rubbish because I'm dyslexic, and sometimes I read things wrong too!

they look a little sheepish Charlie! Horsfields are lovely breed of tortoise and quite gregarious actually. CB

They seem very contented in their bath.

Glad to hear they are settling down. Fingers crossed.

Don't be fooled lol you really need to keep a good eye on them.

Hi Charlie you cold try putting ing a few more bits like large pebbles and logs for them to climb over as horsfields love to climb.

climbing the walls is normal for Horsfields so don't worry and as Gordon says they love lots of interest half buried pots to climb over and dig under too. but they may still climb the walls...Im sure we all do at some point ! CB
