My vet just doesn't think it's possible to create the right hibernating enviornment in captivity. And aside from that she doesn't think 2 months is enough time to say for sure that the tort is 100% healthy.
So my next question is this - how does one overwinter a tortoise? Should I just keep the light time and temperature at summer levels and let her get as sluggish as she wants? I mean she spends maybe an hour basking and eats every 2-3 days (or she's been doing that for the past week.) Is this normal overwintering behavior?
Thanks,
Maria
: why did your vet say that your tortoise shouldn't hibernate? is it because you recently got it, or because he doesn't believe in hibernating tortoises? if i were you i'd overwinter it this year and hibernate it in the fridge next year, once you are assured it is 100% healthy and ready.
