Russian Tort Awake

[belindajon]

I’m in coastal Orange County and my normally sleepy Russian tort is awake and wanting out of her winter accommodations (box in a ventilated plastic crate in our garage). Her normal outdoor enclosure and house doesn’t get sun this time of year (too early) it really isn’t that warm during the day (mid 60s) and she doesn’t have any place to bask in her enclosure.

I took her out and gave her a good soak a few days ago thinking she would go back to sleep, she hasn’t. I’m not sure what to do. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Sounds too warm for the tort to be in brumation. They need consistent cold to go into a winter sleep.
