Over the past couple years I’ve allowed my Russian tortoise group to burrow down in their green house home and hibernate naturally will little to no problem, but starting in the beginning of this summer the green house started to weaken and fall apart so we demolished it. The Russian torts were placed back into 4ft by 8ft red wood boxes. I have concerns about letting them hibernate in the boxes because of little protection from the rains and the cold weather we get here in the Bay Area.
Questions:
Would it be safe to place them in a tool shed during hibernate, and how would I go about doing this?
I have two yearling Russians that my oldest female produced, would I be able to hibernate them safely?
I have recently obtained a small female that is slightly under weight but is actively eating. Can I hibernate her also?
