Hi Guys,

My rescued Horsefield is - according to experts on this forum - 5-6 years old and has possibly never had a hibernation. Unfortunately he wasn’t very well when I acquired him, he had parasites, was malnourished and has some pyramiding.

Right now he is 9.5cm long (from the “V” in his plastron to the point at his tail) and weighs just under 300g. How do I know when he is the optimum weight for hibernation?

Thank you!
