Hi, I am considering buying two Horsefield tortoises from a lady who can't keep them any more. They are 6 years old and have lived indoors on a table. Would they adapt to outdoor life easily if I had the right set up for them? | |

Hello Debbie, How long has the woman had them ? What type of lighting has been used & how often has it been renewed ? They should adapt to being outside in summer but it would need to be staged carefully. That is if they are healthy. Be careful - you could end up with trouble, vets are not cheap. Best not to pay for them. Regards, Tom | |
