I didn't mind which shelf, but I did put a thermometer besides the box to make sure it is around 4 degree Celsius.

Hi, I'm sorry I didn't provide too much details in the previous post. 😅 I understand your worries about the whole process, as I also feel anxious every time I send my Clydie to the fridge. It's never easy. When I do it, I would keep the fridge at 4 degree Celsius. Before you send him to the...

If you're interested in how I do the hibernation, you can read my replies to a recent post here: https://tortoiseforum.org/threads/hermann-hibernation.201541/?utm_source=threadloom&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=ed40&utm_content=iss655

Thanks!! 😁

Clydie just passed her 6th birthday at 954g!

OMG, I missed Clydie's weight update at her (yes, Clyde turns out to be a girl🤣) 5th birthday. 811g!

The first 3 years Clydie was in our normal everyday fridge. 😆 To cut down the light disturbance and to prevent jail break if she is awake, we put her in two layers of shoe boxes, with breathing holes on the side of course, with crumpled paper towel balls as "substrate" to bury her. She seemed...

Oh! Another hibernation post. :) In short, I have a 6-year-old Russian tortoise and I had her since she was a hatchling. She lived in a closed enclosure with the same temp and same environment for the first 5 years. I tried everything to not let her sleep in the second year, but nothing worked...

My Clydie, a Russian tortoises, is 6 years old now. She used to live indoor full-time until this year that we have a backyard. She always had the same temperature, same closed enclosure for the past few years, but she does slow down every year since she was one-year-old. We would take her out...

I'm jealous 😫 I can only plant those indoors.

I think turtles are a lot less demanding compared to tortoises in terms of enclosure size, environmental conditions (lighting, humidity, different zones of temperature...) and food. If you pick a small turtle, like a 3-striprd mud turtle, you will be able to move around with it much easier.

I have to say, Clydie, my Russian tortoise is slowing down these days also. She had the backyard enclosure this summer and endless weeds to eat in the daytime, and came back home to her indoor enclosure at night. However, just as in the previous years, she slows down after 7,8 months of active...

He could be poopping outside in the outdoor enclosure, no?

Put it in a fridge in winter, either at home or in your dorm. :)

😮‍💨 Russian tortoise didn't even make it on the painting...

He got what he deserved. 😆😆😆

In my opinion, it really depends on the dogs also. My previous dog, Harry, was a cocker spaniel who has the most gentle soul. He naturally doesn't like to chew anything. He is gentle with any small animal. I saw him once from far away that he sniffed at something and then just left. I went up...

Well, I think you probably should read the care sheet that Tom sent more carefully. Lots of wrong and outdated info out there on the internet.

My Princess Clydie is on the other hand, too well fed, her armpit is borderline bulging. 😅

Thanks for liking my tank!
