You just have to keep an eye on them. Late summer/early autumn they start to slow down as the temperature cools, so they start to eat less and less. They need to have no crap in the bowels as this rots during hibernation and can cause them problems. Once theyve not eaten for a while, its safe to hibernate them. Its important to not let them be exposed to frost as tis can destroy thier eyes. They are hardy little buggers. And Tommy, in 30 years time youll need a bigger fridge, mines over 5 kilos now

Contrary to popular belief tortoise can not swim so bath water needs to be only a few inches deep.

I know......sorry. But they do look like little turtles when young.... :'(
Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.
