I would appreciate some advice and the reasons around such advice too as there seems to be a lot of conflicting information available.
Toby is 47+ and has always been hibernated for several months in a cardboard box of straw in the garage. For background see here
We live somewhere slightly colder than he's been living in the past, literally just a couple of 'c but it will regularly hit 0'c over winter.
He lives outside and, I think, wants to hibernate already as seems to be slowing down and not eating. Shall we:
- keep him going for a few more weeks then hibernate in a box of straw as per past 47 years
- as above but hibernate in a better way i.e. soil etc.
- buy a tortoise table, bring him in, skip hibernation altogether? I'm leaning towards this one
