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 tables, and hibernating your tortoise, but Benny has pretty much been left to her own devices in my grandads garden for the past 45 years, and digs herself down or in to soil or compost, and then pops up again april/ may time.
Should we stop the habit of a life time, and hibernate her ourselves, indoors and safe, or let her get on with it?
Thoughts please.
