Hello! I recently made my tortoise a new enclosure! It is awesome! It’s also much larger than the last one that he had and It includes a pretty good size hide box. I was really excited to put him in it and he enjoyed it for a few days. He had a couple feedings, had some water and then he went in the hide. I keep checking on him thinking he is enjoying the new enclosure but he is just hanging out in the hide. I look in there and notice that he does adjust himself and move in different positions within the hide so he is not dead but I don’t know if he is hibernating either. Just seems like kind of weird timing. And he only did this one other time since I have owned him. Maybe the Hide encouraging him to do hibernate? And if so how do I care for him while he’s hibernating? It is still cooler here at night but it is definitely warming up. Will the warmer weather encourage him to wake up? This is just a new thing for me and I’ve owned him over 10 years. TIA!
