Hi, I'm pretty new to tortoise care and I had a few questions concerning my tortoise. As winter is approaching I know hibernation is a natural and healthy cycle for your tortoise but it isn't recommended for a tortoise younger than 3-5 and also depends on the species of tortoise.
I was hoping someone would be able to help me figure out her species (I think she might be a russian tortoise? But I want to be corrected if I'm worng). And is there anyway to know her age exactly, or would I need to visit the vet to find that out?
(I'm sorry I don't know very much about her, she's actually my little brother's tortoise but he doesn't care for her so I do.)
