Thank you

I have 2 Hermann tortoises, about 5 yrs old. One has hibernate OK, as he did last year. The other didnt manage to hibernate last year and I think is struggling again this year. He hasn't eaten for nearly 4 weeks, after a 3 week preparation period I put them into hibernation 4 days ago (double...

Hi. I'm new to this forum and a fairly new tortoise owner. 2 days ago I put our 2 three yr old Hermann tortoises into hibernation after a 2 week wind down. One is happily buried with his head tucked in. The other has crawled to the top and has his head out but his eyes our closed. Are they meant...
