I have a Hermann Tortoise who is 3-4 years old and I read that he is probably too young too put in a fridge for brumation. Should I A let him brumate in his environment? Or B not let him brumate at all? I read that they have preparation and that you have to weigh them or something like that and that if they are not prepared they can die. For the past week I have probably made 2 posts a day on reddit. Everyone has a different opinion. This all seems so confusing. If they wake up and urinate during brumation I heard that they can die. Can I just brumate him on in the terrarium? People say my temperatures are good 90-95 basking spot 40-60% humidity and 12 hours of light and dark. I have a picture of his enclosure. All the guides online say different things. I just want to know should I kind of just wing it and let him brumate in the terrarium? Or should I not let him brumate at all because brumating seems risky? Please help me because I do not have much time before he starts brumating and I need to decide on my plan.
