Default Living outdoors - advice needed

i started setting up my 3 year old hermans outdoor enclosure and am hoping to let him live outside all summer even at night (very nervous mummy lol) his enclosure has been planted with weeds ready for him to eat and have others growing outside enclosure

i have a couple of questions

1) im wondering if slugs, snails or ants are of any danger to my tort and if so what would you recommend i do to keep them out of his enclosure?

2) do i still need to give him nutrabol?

3) should i still bathe him as often while he is outdoors?

1) Many will eat slugs and snails, as long as there are no slug pellets down, then it will be fine.

2) Yeah, however you can actually put it into the soil meaning the plants or weeds will have it 'built in'

3) Just include a shallow water bowl that he can get into and out of by himself, as long as its deep enough so he could put his head under if he wished
