Hibernation
Posted: 28/09/2011 by herbie19

Hi

I am a first time hibernator!, I have 2 Hermann toitoises approx 5 and 6 years of age.  Could you tell me when I should put them into hibernation and exactly what I need to do beforehand.  They are both healthy and I have noticed that they are not eating very much but are still quite alert.  Where is the best place to store them?

Any help would be great and thank you.
