Will pregnant females hibernate?

[LRTortoises]

Will pregnant females hibernate? I notice that my male marginated and all of my Russian tortoises have all quit eating when offered food and so I have put them away to brumate. However my two marginated females which could be pregnant want to have no part of that. They are eating all the time and they are not slowing down at all.

I can't speak to Marginated tortoises, but the type of tortoise that I keep that hibernate, have certain times of the year that they dig nests and lay eggs. They dig in the spring. So, my hibernating type female egg-laying tortoises will hibernate, then in the spring they lay their eggs.
