Is it mandatory to brumate Russian tortoises? I haven't brumated my Russian tortoise last winter and I was wondering if that will have an impact on his health.
The answer to your question, as worded, is no. No they do not "need" to be hibernated. It is not mandatory. They can survive and be fine without ever hibernating.Is it mandatory to brumate Russian tortoises?
