Not sure what to do, I have a 3 year old first time greek tortoise hibernating in his terrarium. Should I move him or just turn the lights off and let him sleep? I did not think he was going to hibernate yet, so I am worried I did not hydrated him enough too.

@HermanniChris please help.

@Piggy don't worry. We are all here to help you. Please post pics of your tort, and read the Beginners Mistakes Thread, if you still haven't.

(Btw, I have a Greek tort too, however he has not hibernated since I 've had him).

Lights off, make sure the substrate stays moist and that there is drinking water nearby. In about 6 weeks turn them back on or wait for him to start stirring on his own.
