My make Russia is around 5-6 and ready for hibernation if i decide to let him hibernate this year....(any ideas on hibernation please)....my main question is....what do you think about keeping my tortoise outdoors providing a rig up some heat source and light , only thing is he's too big now for his table I built ImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1442141343.937545.jpg
I would like to let him have as bigger area as possible with my garden being a decent size I can...but he's never hibernated and I know very little about it and also about keeping him outside in the UK
?????? Any suggestions

Hibernating outside is dangerous. Learn all you can about it to decide. Search hibernation and you will find tons of information. The fridge method seems to be the safest from the research I have done. This will be my 1st year as well.
