Hi,
I have a Horsefield tortoise, male and about a year and half old. We got him in July so this is our first winter with him.
He lives indoors and we put him into hibernation at the beginning of November. However over the past week he has been moving about, which is normal, but yesterday I found him out of his hibernation box and looking at me at the cupboard door where hes kept.
So with him actually getting himself out his box, is he hungry/thirsty and should I bring him out the hibernation cycle? He seems to be more active than I would like for this time of year and wondering what the best course of action would be?
