Hi;
We have a Greek tortoise, We have had him for a couple of years and has been very active until recently when we moved the vivarium.
She has stopped eating and has started to sleep all day over the last week.
The temperature has been consistent at between 30C (during daytime) and 20 (at night) as well as the healthy diet and the environment.
The tortoise has never hibernated before as we where told they do not need to for the first 4 years.
Should I take this as a sign that the tortoise would like to hibernate? And reduce the temperate to 5 to 10 Centigrade? To help the tortoise hibernate?
Thanks for any advice in advance.
Regard
Duncan and family.
