Hibination Help! Posted: 13/10/2015 by wreptile |
|
Hello I hve a 7 yr old horsfield. I aquired the tortoise in June this year off a freind who could no longer look after him. They told me that he has been hibinating for a few years. I feel that he is starting to slow down to go into hibination. His previous home was not set up correctly, and the heat lamp was not the best. I have him on a large tortoise table with UV strip and seperate heat lamp on a thermostat. Do I need to start reducing the heat to invoke hibination? Some advice on this process would be really appreciated, as I'm worried I do something wrong. Thanks | |
