I have re-homed 2 tortoise both around 40 years old, a spur-thighed and a hermann. I have used the Jackson graph to weigh them before hibernation and i'm concerned as they are between the average and low graph lines (nearer the low). I am following your hibernation guide but would like some advice regarding the safety of hibernate due to their weights. | |

Hello, The J.R. is just a guide, try putting your figures in the calculator. Next year keep monthly weight records, these are invaluable. Re-post if the calculator results are still of concern. Regards, Tom | |

Thanks Tom i'll be sure to keep my own records from now on. Another question. I've been using hay as bedding as suggested by the previous owner. If I continue to use hay, will they eat this during wind down? Thanks D | |
