Juvenile Hibernation
Posted: 24/12/2010 by ellie2711

hi there everyone,

i have just put my 4 tortoises in hibernation, two are 1 year old and the other two are 2 years old. How long do you think i should leave them hibernating for. Both the same time? Or the younger ones less?

regards hannah - i am using the fridge method

Hi Hannah,

I tend to leave my juveniles 8-10 weeks as i feel this is long enough providing they are healthy and their weight appears ok.
