: My male and female russian tortoises were both successfully hibernated for 4 weeks. Now they are out of hibernation, and have already been soaked and both have eaten. They are being housed separetly right now. When i want the to breed do i just put them together? They have been out of hibernation for 3 days. How long should I wait to put them in the same enclosure to mate? What can I do to help stimulate mating?Does an increased humidity stimulate anything? My male has been pacing around the enclosure as if it is looking for a tortoise to mate with.I will appreciate any help on breeding my tortoises. Thanks in advance

There are more factors involved than hibernation.
The most important is: are they sexually mature?

I suggest that you find out as much as possible about general care and keeping them healthy. If you provide for all their needs...and they are of age ....they will mate when ready (if they are together :-) )
