Tortoise Owner from the UK
Hi all, I am new to the forum and wanted to say a big Hi.
I have just woken my Tortoises up from their few months in hybernation. I hybernate my Tortoises in a cheap fridge in my garage. I have been doing it this way for a few years and it seems to work a treat. I don't know how many of you do the same but I set the fridge to 3-5 degrees and so the fridge only tends to kick in on those mild balmy days when the temperature outside rises above 5. The few weeks back we saw temperatures of 12 degrees so the Tortoises would of been waking up. I have Mediteranian Spur Thighs, 1 Male and 4 Females. By mid April I let them loose in my rear garden, I just let them do their own thing and leave food out for them which I collect locally. I have recently bought 2 British Blue, shorthaired kittens, they have not met the Tortoises yet, so I am sure they will enjoy stalking and pouncing on my little tank bodied friends next month.
The light that burns half as bright, burns twice as long.

Welcome to the forum TORTUGA, As Kelly said, looking forward to seeing and hearing about your shelled babies, and your new kittens. How long have you been cohabitating with Mediteranian Spur Thighs and what kind do you have?

A little late, sorry, Welcome to the forum I am also a new member from UK, with an accent often mistaken for your part of the world although I can't see why at all. Anyway I am sure you will find the forum very friendly and helpful, I know I have.
