one of my little tortoises had gone, we looked high and low, searched every inch of the greenhouse and garden every day. Then on the 27th I saw her stuck, wedged between the sleeping box and the side of the greenhouse.  There is no way she was there when we looked its a complete mystery. 

She was very dehydrated, and obviously not eaten or drunk for 9 days. I have bathed her and warmed her up and tried to get her to eat, I bathed her this morning she is wide awake I tempted her with a little tomato but she isnt really eating it. Just before she went missing she was trying to wind down for hibernation, im now concerned that she is in a state of pre hibernation. I don't know what to do with her. ? 

Any thoughts will be helpful.

do I let her hibernate or over winter

do I feed her up then wind her down again?

In the circumstances, it would be best to be cautious & get her feeding again for about 2 months. It will have been traumatic, so a good period of time will get her well & settled.

A shortened hibe. in the circumstances, will do no harm.

Tom
