Hi,
I have 2 marginated tortoise - one @ 2 years and one @ 1 1/2 years. Both are healthy; active and eating. I have noticed in the last few weeks the older tortoise is starting to loose weight. At the moment I am assuming this is natural? The younger tortoise is still gaining weight.
I understand the hibernation procedure but I have a few questions
- how long should they be starved for as they are only young?
-should they be hibernated?
-how long should they be hibernated for?
Many thanks
