Box ventilation Posted: 31/10/2010 by KNS |

Doing hibernation for the first time this year, scary For each tort, we've got a cardboard box (the type used for A4 paper), which fits fairly snuggly inside a lidded polystyrene box, with a very small space between the boxes for a bit of shredded paper. We know we need to make holes for ventilation - can anyone give us an idea of how many/what size the holes should be and where - I was thinking just in the lid? Thank you. | |

Hi, I used to put a few holes in the side of the inner box as well as the lid when i used the box method. You need about a dozen holes in the top and about the same size as a pencil (circumference) Ali | |

Thanks Ali, will do that. Can't bear the filthy looks one of our girls is giving us due to the lack of food!! Feel bad, but going to be firm. | |
