So the Jackson ratio uses the SCL and the tortoises weight to identify if your tortoise is healthy for hiberation, but is only appliciable to Hermanns and Greek tortoises. Is there a way to identify if a Russian tortoise is healthy for hibernation?

The rule I use is you should have the tort be it a baby or adult, you should have it one full year before you hibernate it .
