i got into keeping just over three months ago, and i have not had to go through hibernating a tortoise. i would simply like someone to review what i have found and see if it needs some patching. when it starts getting cool, they will be more inactive, and will eat less. when they are completely inactive, they are in the state of brumation, and i wont need to feed them unless they come out for some reason, at which point i can offer food, but its likely they will reject and go back to sleep. they will come out when theyre ready, and feeding/watering can be resumed. i really dont think there is anything else..but i guess i'll find out. haha. thanks for any help.
