THB now outside

tortoiseuk · 27-04-2014, 10:14 PM

well, my THB are now outside also.
I'm in the process of building an insulated outside hide for them also, thread on housing section.

Here's my old male basking and eating

He's very beautiful, or should I say handsome, I do love the old ones

Basking and eating at the same time - sounds like tortoise heaven!
He's certainly very handsome.

he's a very energetic tortoise

, whenever he see's me he chases and bites my shoes

I'm setting the THB's outside hide now, hope it will allow me to have them outside all year round.
still a few doubts about the next hibernation though.. should I do the fridge method or allow them to stay in their future heated hide or not hibernate them at all and move them back indoors late in the year.. a few months to think about it

I have never been brave enough to hibernate outside. I always use the fridge method. Plus it means it is really easy to have a check on them as the tortoise fridge is only in utility room!!

He is almost identical to my old THB (Sammy )
