Hello everybody!
Technically I am new to the forum ie I have never messaged but I have been reading a lot the last year since getting my own little Greek Matilda!
I did not hibernate her last year as my first year with her and first year as a tortoise owner.
I am very late to the game this year as I have had trouble finding a fridge (yes I am opting for the fridge method as seems the more safe for me living in the UK) but have got one today (22 November)
Is it too late to hibernate her in late December/January when I’ve “emptied” her body or shall I wait for next year now?
She seems desperate to sleep and hibernate at the moment as when I wake her up to soak etc she does what she needs to do, and then go back to her little hide and sleep until I get her up next day… (I’ve done the Jackson ratio a couple of times recently and she is within a healthy rate
This is her in our yearly Christmas card photo shoot☺️
