WOW she is brave huge monsters they are, need a huge heated shed when they get bigger, they can dig under fences also.

If you want a tortoise outside all the time it can be done. But i really sugest having a greehouse with a heat lamp for colder days

Spring wake up from hibernation colder days so heat lamp might be needed
Summer - outside all the time
Autumn - heat lamp will be needed and wind down for hibernation
Winter - hibernation
