I've witnessed hailstones before in summer but never sleet. A few consecutive cold nights outside and they would be hibernating. Last year one went down in the first week or so of September with the other one a month later and they hibernated for over 6 months due to the extended winter but were absolutely fine

We all have to take into consideration our own area and temps when keeping tortoises.
So its always useful to state where abouts keepers are, and to get as many replies from different areas:0)
