I'm a first time tortoise owner and have had my tort about a month.
I've not owned a tortoise before and have done lots of research but still feel a bit wary of hibernation.
I have a 5 year old Hermanns male who has been hibernated before but wasn't this past year.
Some people on here have said not to hibernate him this year as I'm a new tort owner. Other have said I should.
Could I get more advice on this please as I feel no amount of research is making me feel confidant in hibernating him (maybe I'm just nervous) and I just want what's best for my tortoise
Thank you - any advice, tips and info will be gratefully accepted x
