Is it bad to bother the tort during his hibernation to take him outside on a nice sunny day for a little. . I no I don't like bothered while I'm trying to sleep. .lol
No. When a tort is hibernating, they fall asleep completely, no movement! They may stay like that until they warm up in spring or summer... doesn't sound like he's hibernating. Have you seen him eat or go to the bathroom? Certain precautions have to taken to help a tort hibernate safely!While he is hibernating will he still move from time to time? He will be in his tunnel for hours then dig a hole in the corner and stay there the night then go back to his tunnel for a day. Does this sound like hibernating. . Sorry for all the questions but I'm trying to figure this out. . Thank you. .
Don't soak him or wake him up, he won't hibernate if he keeps getting bothered!He still is not eating. . He has gone to the bath 2 times in the last 2 weeks (aprox).. I still have been bothering him every other day for a soaking. .. maybe it's me bothering him and not allowing him to go into that deep sleep. . I'm just worried I'm going to hurt him. . I'm trying to do what's best but am not sure I'm doing it correctly.
OK. .. Temp about 87° during day and 68°at night. .
