The days are getting shorter and the nights cooler. This tells tortoises its time to start cleaning out their systems to get ready to hibernate.

Yes. (well, mine tries) Last year he got very lazy and inactive during the colder months, even though in his table it was sunny and 90! :D I didn't try to hibernate him, because it's not MY thing, even though a lot of people like doing so.
