One would think that a tortoise who lives in the house in climate controlled conditions would not consider brumating because each day is like the last but some tortoises are very tuned in to earth conditions and know when it's time to stop eating and prepare to brumate. It's difficult to keep these tortoises up.
It is my perception that pet tortoises don't physically need to nor have to brumate. If you want to keep your tortoise up this winter, far as I know, this is perfectly ok.
