Found ya Jan looks good, plenty of room too. You could have more, more and more in there. Hee hee.
I'm a bit confused about the rain issue. Dont you allow them to sit in the rain.

The rain - they have both happily sat in light rain, but Beatrice moves off quickly. However, Bertie just stayed put when it was torrential and on the cold side.

Until this year I would never have let them stay even in light rain, but this is where the forum has taught me lots. I had been obsessed with ensuring they were not left damp, which I had read in a tort book.

I have been rather over protective, so big change this summer.

Good. Rain is good for them. Some seek it out to hydrate. If you imagine a tort in the wild, where does it get its water from,. They soak rain fall up through the neck, lick wet rocks and leaves, aswell as taking advantage of any puddles to drink from and sit there mouth wide open collecting rainfall. I can't speak for the med species, hinges and redfoots do. I'm pretty sure that most species would.
