Hi Guys,
need some advice.
Ive had my tortoise since i was 5 years old, (now 44 years old) so almost all my life and love him dearly,
but...... we are in the stages of moving home, he will definitely hibernate during the time we need to move.
the problem is, he has always self hibernated in a special place he has chosen in the garden and has done every single year, he goes inside his house then digs himself really deep (in pre-prepared dry soil and straw) and i don't know what to do. we have never hibernated him, he has always done it, and i don't want to "effectively" dig him up as i worry it would kill him. what can i do???
kindest regards
