This will be my first year for hibernating my Hermans,  after reading through the TPG care sheets taking in all the info i understand my first step in the preparation is taking him to the vets to have a health check to make sure he is healthy before i carry out any hibernation preparation.  Can anyone on here please recommend a vet i can take him to in Newcastle Upon Tyne, i didn't want to take him to pets at home for example where the vet may not specify in tortoises and me walking away no further forward in getting him ready. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards

Kirsty
