Hi everyone! I have two marginated tortoises who I am just putting into hibernation. As you can imagine I'm a little nervous! They are 4 years old but this is the first time they have hibernated as they are now kept outside in the summer. In using the fridge method and have been starving them for four weeks before hibernation. I know they mustn't lose more than 1% of their body weight during hibernation but do you know how much weight they should lose in the starvation period before hibernation? Any advice would be welcome!
