Thanks, Tom,
I have been checking on her today and there has been no more foam.
She won't drink out of a bowl, (super fussy, I've inherited a prima donna Tortoise!) so we have got some cucumber and are going to try and encourage her to eat some. Once we've woken her up and she is being active...
Hi Yvonne,
Thanks for your response, there is the possibility of a spider bite but I can't be sure.
Would putting her in the bath make her come out of hibernation early?
She doesnt live in a vivarium, shes a little bit of a free spirit so we cant put her out the garden at the moment.

Hi There,
My Greek tortoise who is about 45 years old is hibernating in our conservatory in a run.
Today I heard a very loud squelching sound and went and opened the run to check what the noise was.
I found her semi-awake with clear bubbles coming from her mouth- quite a bit.
I've wiped them...
We have a Greek tortoise that we have inherited, and we have noticed recently that she is raising her bum up and down in the air, both when she’s at rest and when she’s eating.
It is particularly hot at the moment, and we wondered if this is a way for her to cool herself off.
Any ideas?
Hi there,
So I’m joining the tortoise forum to find out more about owning a tortoise that Ive voluntarily inherrited.
Her name is Benny, yes she has a boys name because everyone thought she was a boy for about ten years until she laid some eggs.
So theres lots of good stuff about tortoise...
