Hello there! I've done lots of research and have adopted a Russian tortoise, who i have named Frankie. A woman seriously had him listed on craigslist because her son wasn't taking care of him enough and she didn't know how (or didn't want) to help take care of him. He seems to be healthy and is very friendly, he likes to have his shell pet and enjoys sitting with me with his head out if his shell. However, he seems to be sleeping a lot when in his enclosure. As in, not moving for days, asleep. I keep the basking light on during the day and turn it off at night. Is it possible he is hibernating? What could be going on? They said they got him from the woman's sister who got him from petco 2 years before, how old could he be? could this be affecting him?
