In Reply to: Horsfield Tortoise posted by Karl on November 20, 2000 at 13:33:01:

: hello everyone,
: i have decided to overwinter my two horsfield tortoises on your advice as i had only had them for about 5 months. both have slowed down a bit, as you might expect. one of them is still eating and acting normally. however, i am more concerned about the smaller one. she is 4" long and only weighs 100g. she has been steadily losing weight down from about 130g for about a month now and isnt interested in any food. i know they slow down over winter and perhaps eat less, but should i be concerned about this loss in weight and lack of interest in food. anyone have any ideas or soultions to this problem?
