Sun and Horsfields

S25ALE · 02-07-2006, 05:16 PM

Hi, with the weather being so lovely and sunny i've done my best to make sure both my torts make the most of it!
My Leopard has loved it he usually naps alot during the day in his indoor enclosure but hes been awake all day walking round and scoffing in the outdoor Enclosure. My Horsfield however has a quick nibble and wander round then heads straight for the 'kennel' goes in the hay and refuses to move all day. Is this normal? Hes not like it in his indoor enclosure.

Thanks

naturally they hibernate in winter and asvestate in the extreme heat -
if it was realy hot today where you live this probebly explains this behaviour
my spur thighed does the same

My Horsefield really doesn't seem keen on high temps. My Hermann is a real sun lover though.

Well i think Edwards coming round a bit, perhaps all this sun was a bit of a shock after
a long winter with nothing but a uv light a basking light. Hes been wandering round
a bit more today just got to find a way to get my plants and grass to grow faster now!!!
