It really is lovely. You've created such a lovely enclosure for them.

I see, one could make something similar from a log store, I think. Does it have electrics too, with uv and basking ? Or just heat.

Sorry I meant the little blue house, not the whole enclosure 😁.

Tort Lodge and the greenhouse have electrics, heat in the spring..... Uv when they are awake but can't get out much. The roof of the Lodge is supposed to let Uv in.....but I don't rely on it. Outside there are two lamps which create heat which are used early spring and autumn to encourage activity x x x xhugs x x x

I can see why you call it Tort Lodge Gardens. Such luxury.

Yes, I would be interested to see more detail as we are just about to start building a new indoor pen, that will actually be in an out building, with access to outside (secured inside and out). The one we cobbled together is just not right and I like the look of the lamps on yours.

Do they hibernate in the house?
