I have two spur-thigh's both about 3 years old, this year will be the first year I hibernate them (mainly due to being nervous of doing so and lack of know how).

I have decided to go for the fridge method, and am considering the husky stella table top fridge as has been recommended several times on here. However I am unsure as to what else I would need? What type of thermostat is best? I have a couple of plastic boxes for them, but any recommendation would be great.

Hi, have you read through our hibernation sheet, found on the left hand column under 'tortoise',(here is the link for info http://www.tortoise-protection-group.org.uk/site/78.asp) any queries just ask away

Hi Dani,

Congratulations for preparaing so far in advance:-)

We're lucky to have an array of experienced members who are used to the hibernation process and many members who hibernated for the first time last winter.

As Viv said - please feel free to ask any questions.

Thanks for your replies, I have read the sheet but was looking for some hint/tips maybe particular makes or models people have tried, or bits of kit that people recommend?

Dani

you should put them in a box in a box with some straw as bedding for maximum protection against the cold
