First off is there an age that is specific to this or can they start at any age? Second how long is it and how does it work? Third what are the benefits and is it necessary for my torts overall health? :D

So what the hell species of tortoise are you hosting? I mean, if the species you have does not "naturally" brumate then no, don't. If the species you have "does" brumate in their natural habitat then yes you should set up an appropriate space for that part of their natural cycle.
