Hi!
I have an 18 year old male Hermann's. We got him when he was 5 and the pet shop told us that Hermann's tortoises don't hibernate. I never thought to question it and only realised it wasn't true in the last year or so. Freddie has never hibernated, and seems perfectly healthy, but I don't know whether I should start hibernating him now. Does anyone have any experience in this? I'm just worried about making him hibernate when neither of us are used to it!
