Weather picking up! Can tort go play outside??

[blackrandomapple]

hey folks,
Ive not done alot of posting for a good few months!
How is everyone and there Torts?????

The weather is picking up here has been good weather for about two weeks now, Jus wondering if its ok for tort to be outside in the day time yet? i did put him out for a few hours but he got very cold to touch?
What temps are ok for outside?

there gr8 aint they, mines about 2 n a half now! how long have you had him?

[Kerry-Louise]

Yeah..
Ive had her since she was about 8months. shes gogeous =]
when i got her she was about the size oof a 50p!
to cut a long story short some man was walking around with her and i knew that h was abit dodgy always selling stuff etc..anyways few days later i seen him again,sent mymate ovr to investigate (lol) and she came back and told me he had a tort in it, i went over and fell in love with her ,paid over the odds just to get heraway from him,
took her to the vets, bought her a viv,,etc and lived happily ever after!
looking to build a table for her now..
debating it though..
whats yours in?

[blackrandomapple]

there have been big debates on here over how to keep your tort,
Mine is in a fairly big viv for the size of the tort, its actuall an old pine tv and video unit with the internals cut away and i have build a perspex front to it, he has proper substrate, a lamp, house, logs, water, uv, false trees/bushes, and a few other bits!

he comes out when he wants to, door is open always! Again people debate about this but im sure he is fina and happy, when weather is good he has an outdoor play area! he loves the sun and fresh air!

he has a proper little personality and querky little ways!

I tend to look after him from the heart not always by the book!

[Kerry-Louise]

yeah
my choices are
*Keep her in the viv
*tip the viv on its side and change things
*buy a large rabbit cage
*build a table

Just cant decide

:p

[blackrandomapple]

Do what you think is right, Aslong as he has all his needs ie heat light etc then he will be fine im sure. . My torts health and happyness is my main priority!
I found it hard to decide on how to keep mine when i got him. the forum helps loads tho

[Kerry-Louise]

yeah id rather please my tort than people off here obv
yeah hes in a 42ft viv
But i have tucked away a 6ft viv....
so i could always move her to that
yeah ..she has heat ligh,uv...etc
i buy her "toys" every week slate ,rocks,bendy bridges etc..haha
