hello i would like to know everything you know about hibernation as i am going to be doing this for the first time very soon and need to know what you guys do before you hibernate them

ohh yer my tort is a hermans btw

Have a read through here:

Tortoise Trust Web - Safer Hibernation and Your Tortoise

Hibernation can be nerve racking - best keep telling yourself that you are benefiting the tortoise and that helps.

I use both the fridge method for my smaller ones and box/loft method for my adults. I prefer fridge as it is more controlable in terms of temps - at this moment in time I do not have the space for the addtional 5 or 6 fridges I would need!

HTH
