Yes the tortoise area of our garden is rather varied with regard to textures and stimulation. As you can imagine it can prove difficult finding them each night, especially when it is dark. Although they both have a favourite hiding place!
We have been meaning to hibernate them for the last two years although we haven't as it is slightly daunting! The vet stressed last week that we must and will run through the process next week with us. Consequently they have been in the house during the winter period under a heat lamp and artificial lighting. They have an open pen/run as such and not an aquarium as we were informed that it was too hot and artificial, they were running around nonstop due to the heat!!
Do you have a tortoise yourself? Apologies if you have already stated so, have had a lot of responses
