Bit of a point less post?
i disagree with people keeping any thing how they like. It has to be best for the animal. Animals always come before money/ enclosure.

So are you honestly saying to me that;
you think it is fine for people to keep reptiles how they like even if it puts the reptiles health at risk? Or am i reading htis wrong?

But thats just one, hundreds died because our climate is too cold. Of course you will get a small number that will survive its the law of probability. Dnt be so blind

From 1947 untill 1986 the uk killed 15 million tortoise becaus we kept them as we liked! The 90 year old tortoise in a large garden found micro habitats and as it had a entire garden probably got access to weeds and many wild plants.You are able to keep yours as you like. I joined the forum so i could learn from people with much more experence then me. Who tells small tortoise in the wild not to hibernate? they need to do it, its part of their lives so let them.
