:I've always been under the impression that Russian tortoises aestivated in the southern part of their range- they dont aestivate in the northern part. Therefor I don't believe that they need to aestivate to remain healthy.
Also, the aestivating tortoise will dig a burrow to aestivate in. This burrow will be considerably cooler than the outside air.
