It is strongly recommended that you do not hibernated recently acquired tortoises. You need to observe them this year to make sure they are in top health. If the dealer told you to hibernate them at 70F, which is way too high, then the torts may not have been kept properly and may be in need of veterinary attention.

For info on keeping and breeding these tortoises, consult www.tortoisetrust.org.
