Hi people, My marginated tortoise just came out of hibernation yesterday afternoon. He self hibernated in my garden which he has done in numerous years. He stayed in hibernation a little longer than usual and longer than I would have liked. It took a while for me to find him and bring him back indoors. It’s not been 24hrs yet, but he hasn’t opened his eyes. He’s alive, but I think he is weak. He is under his heat lamp, and I will be giving him a warm bath when I get back from work. My other tortoise came out of hibernation a few weeks ago and is happily strolling around. They are both about 14 years old, and I’ve never had this issue before. I’m just a bit worried about him. I will give it a few days and a few warm baths and if he doesn’t improve he will have to take a trip to the vets. What do you guys think?
Many thanks, Paul
