I am in two minds about hibernating my margie. He is just over two years old I have read so many conflicting things about age and size.

I need some advice on the subject, please. Part of me is afraid to hibernate him as I do not want to make a mistake at the same time I do not want to cause him any long term damage by not doing it. I have noticed the last couple of days he had been later getting up and eating very little.

I live in the UK

They don’t have to be hibernated. We don’t recommend hibernating them in the first year of ownership as you don’t fully know the health and habits of your tort.

Personally, I don’t like hibernating them when under 500g weight either. They need some bulk to see through the period.
