I have a Hermman Tortoise approximately 7 years old. I took over looking after it from my wife’s sick nan.
This year I have read a lot about hibernation and which methods and build up etc. Approximately a week ago I placed tortoise into a fridge in its box. And have kept the temperature in and around 4-6 degrees.
Today I have opened the box to check on her and her head popped out and looked at me. I was a little surprised. I am quite new to all this. Is this normal, I assumed as she had been down at a cold temperature for just over a week that she would be nicely asleep?!
Any help or advice would be great.
Thanks
