I have 2 hermann tortoises aged between 3 and 4 years old, i put them into hibernation in late november. But because of the warm weather i saw them awake and freaked out, i gave them a bath and lettuce and they were normally eating and drinking, and have gone to sleep again
what should i do now??
should i keep them awake? or put them back to sleep??

Keep them awake now. Having food in their gut during hibernation is bad. It will sit in their gut and rot and could kill them.
