i'd be worried about the torts digging underneath it...erm to heat it, a t-rex combined bulb in one side of the hutch? that way they can go in there to heat up when needed and then pop in a different area of the hutch to cool, or go outside for a wander

They wont use the ramp, far to steep in my opinion. They will fall down it.

things like that you can tweek..may help tho if, on the ramp u put like a wall..if that makes sense..mine have a little ramp bridge thing i made, out of two old hides, unfolded.so they can go underneath it stll, or climb on top of it..but they don't just climb on it like they're supposed to they try to just drop off the tallest part possible lol so had to tweek that to stop them,

I was looking into one of them but what I think I will do for now is keep putting my eldest in my old tort table which I have put mesh on as I think birds will take him and when I think there all old enough i'm gunna sort out a proper enclosure with a cold frame but still bring em in at night an when the weather is awful.

Very wise, big birds will try and take little torts. Rabbit runs aren't really that good for torts as the ramps are too deep plus the tort can see through the mesh and will keep trying to get through and this stresses them out. They need solid sides they cant see through.
As your tort is still a tiny one, why not get one of those indoor rabbit cages. They are reasonably cheap (about £40), a good size, have solid sides deep enough to get a decent depth of substrate and the wire top keeps the birds out and is high enough to fix a lamp holder on the bars. They are also light enough that you can carry them in and out without disturbing your tort.
I used one for mine when they were little and found them ideal.
