This is a personal opinion only, as I appreciate there is a wealth of views and the important thing is the Tortoise is well cared which happens hibernated or not.
I think hibernation is like a recharge of batteries and I have always hibernated my tortoises, and my Horsfields have never been under a lamp even when tiny and hibernated naturally. though this year I will keep 2 spurs up because its convenient to consider in January time rather than now. CB
