Hi:
My wife and I recently adopted a Desert Tortoise in San Diego, CA. We love him, but have concerns as far hibernation (we are not sure what to do) or how to make a proper shelter.
Any tips in these areas would be much appreciated.
We think he may be around 50. He mostly eats romaine lettuce, aloe vera and hybiscus roses. He stays in our back yard (in a dog house at night, but we want to build a better shelter, tips appreciated). We have a garage we could use for hibernation, but are not sure if that's the way to go
.
How do we know when to start hibernation? Should we instigate it or just let him do his own thing?
