I have three young tortoises about 7 yrs old. Two are female and one male. They all came out of hibernation about a month ago. My two females are not active like the male and they are not eating like him. The male is all over the yard and making a pest of himself. I am worried about my two girls. Can anyone shed some light on their behavior? [/size][/font]

Welcome! What kind of tortoises do you have? How old are they? Do they live outside?

They are California Desert tortoises. They are 6 or 7 years old and they live outside except during hibernation, then they are brought inside and stored in a box.

Give them time to wake up. It takes my DTs a couple weeks to be "themselves" after hibernation.
If I were a tort, I would need a good long soak in a tub of hot coffee.
