Hi, I am new to all this tortoise stuff and quite confused about the conflicting information on hibernation.
I am getting a tortoise in a few weeks time and we were hoping to get one that doesn't hibernate, but we can't find any in our area (we have looked in all the pet shops in our county). Instead, we were wondering whether it would be ok just to keep a Hermans or a Horsfields tortoise and keep it warm over winter instead of hibernating it?!
I am open to new ideas and of course, if it is the best thing to do, will be willing to give hibernation a try!
