Hello, sadly my elderly aunt is no longer able to look after her tortoise (now in it's 50s ). She lives 3 hours away and Polly (tortoise ) has been in the custody of my aunt's Carer since Monday as she was becoming increasingly concerned about Polly's nutritional needs and the drop in temperature - still not hibernating. Social work have been involved and I will be travelling on the 4th to meet with them to discuss my aunt's situation and to bring Polly home with me. My concern is that she, Polly will be undernourished and how will this affect her ability to hibernate. This has all happened very quickly and I have no experience in caring for tortoises. I want to give it a go as it would be good to keep her in the family.
I will update the thread next week, meantime it would be really good to chat with some very experienced folk on this forum.
Many thanks
