This is just to let the owners of Lily the tortoise know that we have decided to bring her inside the house today.
The temperature has dropped considerably and it has been raining for most of the day. We did not feel that Lily being outside was good for her. She was not eating as much and not moving around much either.
We do know that tortoises cannot regulate their own temperature and use the sun or a heat lamp to get warm, which was fine when it was sunny, but now, with the rain and lower temperature we thought she might like to come indoors.
We will continue to monitor her progress and make sure she is kept warm and well fed.
