Freezing tortoises
Posted: 20/01/2013 by DavidWYork

Please check temperatures for hibernating tortoises very regularly at this time of year. It is critical to stay above at around 3-5 degrees celsius. Garages and sheds will be less than this...even in fridges!

Good warning David, and of course beware of the risk of preditors e.g rats in outhouses and sheds
