Are they Hibernating or is Something else wrong? :(

[Alyssadaunvoit]

I have two Russian Tortoises that live in a tortoise table indoors. They have always been extremely active, always ate, always good in health. I'd say the past month or so they eat little if any and both just seem to sleep in the dirt. My boyfriend actually asked if they were still alive with how lifeless they are now yesterday I took them out and let them explore...both looking healthy...back in the cage though they just slept...is something wrong or are they just hibernating?

Their activity level changes when the cooler weather comes around. Do you have a heat source for them?

Yes I do!

Can you tell us more about the temperatures in the enclosure and how many hours of light?

They have a day and night time light. They are more active now though
