I’ve starved my hermann for 3 weeks now with daily baths ready to pop in the fridge for hibernation, but i noticed a couple days ago he went to do a poop but it didn’t come out. I was going to wait for him to eventually pass it but he hasn’t yet. Should I wait for him to poop before I put him away, would waiting another week making it 4 weeks of starving be starving him for too long as I was told starve for 3 weeks, or does this not matter?

Has your tortoise been allowed to drink while starving? Daily soaks are really i,portant in the run up to hibernation to ensure your tortoise doesn’t become dehydrated. Dehydration leads to constipation
Yes He drinks the water when I soak him daily, he doesn’t tend to drink much when I offer it only when he’s submerged in his baths
That’s good
