Good morning Laura,

I am o.k.
Hope you too.
Hibernation is almost difficult and many torts didn`t make it.....

That is exactly why I don't hibernate anything. I won't do that to any of my chelonia, simply from the people who tell us about their tortoises who "didn't make it." They don't need to be hibernated unless breeding is involved. And I don't breed. I'm sorry about that happening to you, but take a hint ....no more hibernating......

Maggie clearly has more indoor space than I do. The whole of our dining room wasn't big enough for Joe the one year we had to keep him up. We'll czrry on taking the risks. Nice to see you in here Maggie :)

As for me, I am London bound on a train again. Tonight dinner in a restaurant at the top of The Gherkin; a rather distinctive building in the City (the financial district) where JoesDad has been working. The occasion? He has finally managed to get a reservation after trying for ages!

Hi,

it was not my tort that died in the fridge. It was the tort of a friend of mine.
I am also registered in a German tortoise forum and the people there "would kill you" if you don`t let your tort hibernate. They are so silly!
As I was a child I have got two greek tortoises and they never hibernate but were as healthy as a tort can be.
Now I got two species of torts that don`t hibernate and I am happy to have them trough the whole year.
And if I once get a greek tort again, it must not hibernate.
