Hi I am new to this forum, I have had my Russian tortoise for 9 years and after a recent vet visit it was advised to not let her hibernate this year.
Over the past week or two my tortoise has stopped eating and over the past few days has started spending less time under her heat lights and is falling asleep in the colder areas of her enclosure so I think she is trying to hibernate.
I am looking for some advice on how to stop her from hibernating, I have moved into a new flat this year and it gets quite cold in the living room where she is so I am thinking of getting an extra heat bulb however I am unsure if this is the best thing to do.
Thanks in advance for any advice
