Hello,

Your tortoise is doing fine, thats only a 3.9% of total weight lost. Most people are in agreement that anything up to a 10% loss is safe. Just out of interest how long has the tortoise been in hibernation for?

13 weeks today

Thats great and you're in the nice position of letting the tortoise continue if you wish or waking him/her up because 13 weeks is a good hibernation length. I feel a Horsfields could go a bit longer with no problems.

thank you he herman tortoise by the way
