So how should I hibernate him in the simplest way possible?

Thank you for the info. I’m still a little bit confused because the previous owner has had him for a while and has done the same thing I’m doing. I’m just a little concerned. I don’t want to over think it either.

Thank you very much for the info. How could can I take the temperature? He is in a closet so it’s not super cold.

So recently a tortoise owner responded to my question of how my tortoise should hibernate. I will include photos of his message to me, and a photo of my tortoises box. My tortoise is in a box full of hay that is in a coat closet with no activity or A/C. So what is your opinion? Should I keep...

I think he is just fine how he is. I am fully able to take care of my tortoise. I’ve asked many tortoise owner on this forum and I’ve got many answers saying he’s fine. He is in a large box full of hay that is in a coat closet with no activity or A/C so nothing disturbs his sleep cycle. Do you...

Thank you for the advice, but I don’t have a fridge that he can hibernate in, nor can I make a heat box because I don’t have any room. He is in a box in coat closet with no A/C and no activity. The box is filled with straw and it has a towel over with a 5 inch opening so he can breath.

So I have a DT and he’s 15-20 years old, male, and In hibernation. What I need to know is when I should take him out of his box because it’s getting hotter. I need answers from people in Lancaster, CA. Thanks, Tyler

So I have a DT and he’s hibernating right now but I need info on how to bathe him (He’s 15-20). So a tortoise owner I know said that if I bathe my tortoise in warm water it could get sick and possibly die. He told me to rinse him lightly with the hose. Now, his torts are around 50-60 years old...

So my tortoise is going into hibernation right now and he’s in a box full of shredded newspaper with a thin blanket over it so he can breath. He’s in a dark closet with no activity. My question is, will he choke on the shredded newspaper? Thanks

Yes they are level with the ground and he can climb right in

I have a DT that is 15-20 years old. He is healthy and all but he only drinks when I soak him, but never when I put water in his bowl. Can anyone help?
