Twelve of my sixteen tortoises have come out of hibernation because of the warm weather. It has been 90 degrees here in Alta Loma, CA. Normally they come out of hibernation around mid March or so. This time of the year I am normally preparing their enclosures for the coming Spring – growing seeds, etc. It is so early in the year that even the weeds in the enclosures are are just starting to grow. I have not even planted seeds in their enclosures yet. I was planning on doing that this weekend.
The adult Russian male is already mating with all the females that are awake in the adult enclosure.
I have been missing all my tortoises and I was very happy to see them, but I am worried that the weather is going to turn real cold again and perhaps cause them to become sick.
