Hibernating my baby tortoise.

I have a one year old Herman tortoise, do i need to hibernate him this year? If so when and how do i do this?

You never need to hibernate your tortoise. Enjoy him all year and watch him grow! There is no tortoise that "NEEDS" to hibernate. They do it to survive their environment.

Brumating (tortoises really don't hibernate) your tortoise is absolutely optional and can be very dangerous if you don't know exactly what you're doing.
