i am sure the suns natural uv will have done nessie a power of good

now that she has come back inside she has chosen what she needs to do to sort her self out

if it was warm enough for you outside without your coat it would have been fine for nessie for the hour

Mine were outside for about 4 hours today, the sun here was gorgeous!! They felt a bit cold when I bought them in, so I put them under their lamp and they both walked off!! Boris went in a hide and dug himself in, and Doris went behind the hide... They didn't even want food... Most unusual for Boris!!

Mine have been permantley outside since hibernation.
They have the shed to go into VIA a catflap though, so they are indoors basking and walking about when its cold outside.

it has really thrown her out a bit when i got up this morning she was asleep on top of her auboise not under her hide as normal so iv bathed her and give her a few dandilions but shes not too fussed i hope its just something she has to adjust to as far as i know she may never have been outside before didnt get as much info as i would have liked when i got her and i know she was fed on the wrong things and kept in the wrong enviroment

im going to try her again today for a bit its not sunny but im assuming that any natural light is better than artificial and at least its not raining for once
