We chose a Hermann because SoCal apparently shares a Mediterranean climate (though this year has been cooler and wet). Our Hermann is a 2" hatchling. No plans to hibernate it next winter. But my friend asked me if I knew how to hibernate a tortoise indoors? He raises Greeks and lives in London. At first I thought, Why bother? Tortoise not only gets outside time most of the year, it also sleeps indoors. In a climate controlled environment with a human slave to bathe it and bring food. Why hibernate? Isn't that something animals do out of necessity? But now I'm wondering, Is it more natural to hibernate them...?
Does anyone in SoCal hibernate tortoises? Why? Or is this a regional practice? Like it's a lot colder in London than San Diego?
