Seems to me you are doing a very good job with your tort why don't you give it a bit longer we are all always learning how to look after these torts. She is now up to weight and it won't harm for her not to have had a hibernation, last year I did not hibernate any of my Horsefields as they were too light. Think on it there is alwAys plenty of advice available.

We have done our best, changed her to an appropriate diet etc. although we were unable to hibernate her this year as she lost two much weight on her wind down, but she is now back to a healthy weight.

She has a lovely table, heat/uv lamp accessories etc. She needs to go to the right home as I'd rather see her in a good home than worry about money. We are in the east of Scotland(tayside)...if you can help that would be great!!!
