Yes drummerkid that is INCORRECT,you can hibernate from hatchlings most if not all uk breeders follow this rule. for happy healthy torts (obviously dependant on them being healthy and of a good weight)
they hibernate from hatchlings in the wild, which is alot less forgiving than our methods in captivity

I think it also go's on waight. Most breeders wont sell till a tort is 3monthes old so if it this age in december that is when it will be sold. If ther is no buyer waiting then thay will hibernate the tort. I see no problem with this. The torts look real nice post pics when you get them

They woudl hibernate in the wild, but it depends on the breeder.
