Hello everyone,
I have a rescue tortoise that came to me in pretty bad shape last year. To get his health and weight up he didn't hibernate last winter and presumably never has.
Sucellus has been hibernating for three weeks now and in his last two weigh ins he had poop in with him. The first time I noticed I read that poop was normal and not a concern. But he wasn't fed for a month before going into the fridge, and now tonight he's pooped again?!
The poop is grey/brown and pasty.
Skin and eyes all seem fine! Just need to know if I should wake him up tonight?? Just cleaned up the last "poop".
My first time hibernating anything so any advice is much appreciated!!!!
Thank you Ellen and Sucellus
