Default Tortoise problem

Do we feed our tortoise a little bit more, before we put it to winter sleep? I mean, 2 months before winter sleep, how do you feed your tortoise, normal or a little bit more?



Sory, bad English

What age is your tortoise?
Feed as normal up to wind down for hibernation but for 3-4 before you must stop feeding.See the sticky on hibernation.

As Kerry said feed as normal but wind down time varies depending on age.
