Hi Zoe, I forgot to mention after seeing your gorgeous tort, but it is best not to put them straight into their enclosure as they may have been sprayed with pesticide. It is better to leave them weather outside for a bit.

Oh, I did gently hose it down, and leave it outside for a few days - do you think thats enough ?

I just got some more but won't put them in yet.

Would campanula be ok planted out in the outdoor enclosure ?

(i'm the most un-green fingered person you could meet lol)

I would leave them outside to weather for at least 2 weeks, and I would pull all the flowers off so you know that any new flowers that grow are safe.

Campanula grow lovely outside, so would be perfect in your outdoor enclosure. I'm supprised your is still there, after putting mine in the enclosure Torty ate the lot . If you find that your tort is eating alot of it, cover it with a wire hanging basket for it to have a chance to regrow.
