Hi Buzz
i am not sure what species you keep. maybe you should inform us! I am an oldie. and traditional! I reduce the food intake, then cut it off all together, I also reduce the heat and UV! I must state that I do daily baths at this stage! Then, when ready, I pack them in a box, packing in with shredded paper, in another box, again packed with shredded paper, and they go in the shed. I do have thermometers in with the tortoises with the "prong" at the side of the tortoise and its reading outside! I have a heater in the shed, that ensures temps are kept at 5 degrees. if it drops lower the heater kicks in! It has worked for me for years, so why change something that has not broke? Cath
