I have no idea, it's just that people I have come across have said they have done this for years, the torts have a bit of a quiet time when they are simply less active. I don't know if you'd call it semi-hibernating or what but they just let the torts do their own thing. They come out to eat and drink but much less often, maybe because they are not using energy. You get all kinds of people doing different things, lots of people don't even know that some torts do or don't hibernate. I think it's only a small percentage who get their info from websites like this one
