Hello,
I am really new to this section & dont really have good experiance of turtles & tortoises, but i long to have a tortoise badly. i did have a little horsfields tortoise years ago but it died in hibertation, i was shattered completely. i loved her very much & was totally upset when we brought her out of hibernation & she was dead.
we did everything right we weighed her every week to see if she was ok to hibernate, we fed her correctly, we evan got in touch with the tortoise trust just to make sure we had done evrything by the book! can not tell you how much loved her & she died!!
anyway getting back to my question is it necessary to hibernate them? i would never get a hosfields again because it would remind me too much of shelly! (yes shelly)
any info would be more than grateful, cheers mark mrblue2008
