I have 3 adult tortoises, all registered with Calif Fish & Game Dept. that are in hibernation in the same hole this year. We have noticed a gopher or mole has tunneled their way to the hole pushing the dirt to the outside of their hole. I was wondering if we should dig the tortoises up, I don't know if they can breathe being buried. We have never had gophers until now. Please anyone I would appreciate any suggestions, I imagine their tortoise hole is far back as it has been one of their hibernation spots for many years now.
